Any way to change the function of the "specialty" keys on a keyboard?

[Comp625]

I have a Logitech Internet Keyboard. It's a standard 104-key keyboard with 3 extra functionality buttons. They are specifically: "WWW" (loads up IE), "Mail" (loads up OE) & "Search" (loads up the Search panel in IE).

These 3 buttons are TOTALLY useless to me. On my old MS Internet Keyboard, it had a useful button to load up My Computer and the Calculator. I'd like to reassign 2 of these buttons to load up My Computer and the Calculator. Is there anyway I can do that?

PS: Loading up My Computer via a keypress is pretty cool. It really saves time when you are lazy and don't want to minimize all of your windows and double clicking on My Computer

I've got the cordless iTouch keyboard that I think probably works essentially like yours. Haven't had the driver installed for a couple of years, yet your question prompted me to download the driver (5 megs means a couple of hours at my house) and it would seem that what you want to do is fairly simple.

In the Logitech Configuration, choose a button such as Go. Where it says Select the web site or function you want for the Go key: select Program out of the drop down menu and then use Browse to navigate to C:\WINDOWS\Calc.exe

That would give you the calculator. I don't know how you would get to My Computer. Maybe you would want to use C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe instead.

I don't even have a My Computer on my system anymore. I totally replaced it with a connection to Mozilla using info found here. A case of modifying instructions to reach a goal other than that outlined.

In any case, if your configuration options are like mine I suppose you could link just about any executable to those buttons.
