 and  freddosmomI am sorry that your question has gone unanswered for so long. I will do my best to answer your question. I may not have your exact keyboard, but mine also has the special "quick launch" buttons. In figuring out how it works on my computer, I may be able to figure out how it works on yours. First, I had Task Manager open on my other monitor to see which application is launched when I press my E-Mail button. The name of the file was MailClnt.exe. I then went into my registry and did a find for that file. After seeing the entries, nearly all of them were IE plug-ins, not associated with the keyboard command.  hmmmmm Note: If you are curious about how it would look on your computer, please post back, and I will provide you with directions. Looking at the registry will not cause any harm, but changing values can!!Then, I tried to take a look at a hardware/software connection. This type of connection is usually associated with a driver. I went to Control Panel and double-clicked System. Under the hardware tab, I clicked Device Manager, and opened up keyboards, right-clicked keyboard and selected properties. There was nothing unusual, associated with the driver that would lead me to believe that a setting could be changed to make any changes to my E-Mail button. (ok maybe I need to stop scratching my head. I might start liking it  )The only alternative that I can think of at this time is to d/l a key mapping program. I would rather try them out on my computer before I recommend one to be used. When I have found it, I will provide it in the next message. -------------------- We are all curious like a cat. We wonder, we ask, we learn.
Please post back when a suggestion works, so that others may learn. |

I had this problem with my Rapid Access III keyboard, but I've found a solution (on XP)!
The file that starts the e-mail program seems to be WINDOWS\system32\sksmaild.exe. I tried to find a good solution to stop it, but I didn't... so I made an ugly one instead, basically I just changed which users who were allowed to read and run that file, so now none of my user are allowed to run it... Oh, I terminated the process first of all. This works fine for me, good luck to you! This post has been edited by jonas: Dec 4 2004, 06:54 PM |
