Re-mapping Multimedia Keyboard My Pictures key

[Johnny Dancing]

Is there any way to re-map the My Pictures key on the MS Multimedia
Keyboard? My wife and I have seperate XP profiles so when either of us
hit the My Pictures key it take us to our personal My Pictures folder.
So for both of us to have assess through the Keyboard to our digital
pictures we would need to copy all of our Pictures into both My
Pictures folders then keep the folders in sync.

I would be nice if I could program the My Pictures key to open a
commom folder where we keep all of our digital pictures. Is there a
work around or a registry edit that would allow me to do this? Same
issue holds true for the My Music key.

Thanks,

John

Assuming you have the latest version of intellitype installed.

1. Open keyboard settings from control panel.
2. Choose the key settings tab.
3. Locate 'My Pictures' (second option on my screen)
4. Click edit, or just double click the 'My Pictures' selection
5. Choose the second option, 'Start a program, web page, or file'
6. Type in the directory you would want it to launch, i.e. "C:\Digital
Pictures" (without the quotes)
7. Press finish, and your done.
