I have some buttons on the top of my keyboard which I use to open programs such as IE and Outlook, there are other buttons for volume, skipping tracks in the media player etc. I have installed a newer version of office which now uses the button for outlook express to lauch the office express email program. I have since disabled the office email system because I like Outlook express, but I can't use the button on the keyboard to open it now. Does any one have any ideas please?

 

most programmable keyboards have software that you can mark each hot key to open chosen program. so using that software, you navigate your way to the relevant app..

 

Cheers Swiss, unfortunately I don't have the disc for it anymore, so I'll have to leave it as it is. Nevermind....

 

you can usually download the drivers/software from manufacturers website

 

It was a cheap ebay thing and doesn't have any manufacturers markings. I've got an excuse to get a wireless one now though
