Disable media keys on keyboard?

All you really have to do is a few steps to change your keyboard buttons. I
have an HP also and will give you step-by-step instructions if you want.
These HP keyboards are enhanced keyboards and can be very cool if you know
how to set them up -- better than a cheap one that's for sure.

Thanks. I'll probably pick up a cheap keyboard next week. Maybe I'll spend
an extra $10 bucks or something and pick up a lighted keyboard for the
dark.

I have searched the web a bit at work, but found no real answer.. I see a
few other people with the same problem on an HP machine.

If it were me I would never buy HP.. I build my own, but this is all I
have for now. I understand other companies have media keys also, but the
sheer amount of crap HP loads onto the machine is crazy. If I ever have to
format and reinstall fresh the amount of stuff I don't want takes me about
30+ minutes to get rid of.

We've got an HP M7330N at home.. it has Windows Media Center.

The keyboard drives me crazy with it's buttons... actually my
Girlfriend drives me crazy with the way she uses the buttons. She uses
the keyboard to turn the volume up and down (which access windows sound
from control panel to turn master volume).. so with keyboard she has it
all the way down and then she turns the speakers themselves up loud.
This causes them to always have a slight hiss of silence. I have to fix
this every day when I get home. Man does that drive me crazy!

I tried removing kbd.exe from my registry/msconfig so it doesn't run,
but still those darn buttons work.

I'd buy another keyboard, but don't have cash right now.


Go to Control Panel, you should have "Keyboard" on the list. Click on
it and somewhere there should be places to turn keyboard buttons on/off
or re-assign them. I don't know what your OS looks like but you will
have that capability somewhere in your hardware options.



Not likely, but one can hack them out of the registry, but that won't
prevent clicking the speaker button with the mouse.


I am looking at it right in front of me -- Control Panel/Keyboard. You
are out of touch with reality and have a grandiose opinion of your
knowledgeability. I have seen your posts, many examples-- stop replying
to questions with your limited knowledge that you present as
authoritative. People may take you seriously and pay dearly for it.
