Quick Launch keys

OK, so there are 5 little handy buttons on the left edge of my laptop keyboard. There is one for e-mail, a media player, a Web browser, printing and caculator. They are all together for a default program. The e-mail button launches Windows Mail, and Media Player launches a program DVD comes preloaded on the computer. I wonder how to change what do these keys. I was able to change the web browser from IE to Chrome by changing the web browser by default. I can't figure out how to change the other keys. Any help?

Thank you.

Here are the tweak reg... for a key side keys (this is called)

Internet key: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Appkey\7 'Association '=' http'; Change the string value "http"

Calculator key: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AppKey\18 'ShellExecute "=" calc.exe "; Change the string value "calc.exe"

Key by e-mail: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Appkey\15 'Association '=' mailto'; Change the string value "mailto"

    OK, update:

    I've unlocked the envelope of keyboard with led bar/quick launch keys and I unplugged the Ribbon on the buttons of the LED cable, and that definitely solved the problem...

    New question.  What should I do with the disconnected Ribbon?  Should I type down or anything before the keyboard together?   (edit: for the ribbon cable packing tape works fine)

    Thanks for possible solutions, but that was easy to do and the problem will be solved, and I don't like about LED bar features.

  • Vice versa functional quick launch buttons?

    The functional quick launch keys work vice versa. For example: if I need to refresh the page (f5) I have to hold fn and then only, press f5. But if I need to turn off the sound, I simply press f11 (without the fn). is it ok? Can I reverse this some how? And I can't find how to launch the software 'hp quick launch buttons' (don't start menu shortcut or icon in the status bar).

    Drivers are up 2 date.

    You can disable this feature by turning off "Action keys Mode" in the BIOS...

  • In Win 7 keys on the Microsoft Natural ergonomic Keyboard 4000, Firefox & Thunderbird quick launch only throw in the toolbar, without opening the program, then blurred

    Although these keys to quick launch on this keyboard worked fine on this computer Windows XP, when I switched to Windows 7 64 bit, they started having this problem, but only with Firefox and Thunderbird. If I program these keys to open other programs, they do not have the problem. Therefore, something Firefox/Thunderbird, Win7 64-bit compatibility and software of this keyboard (latest version).

    When I press one of the keys to quick launch on this programmed keyboard for Firefox/Thunderbird, they display a rectangle of program in the taskbar only, but no program opens on the screen. When I move the mouse over this rectangle in the taskbar, the program opens immediately, but to focus.

    Hello

    OK, try the following.

    Open windows control panel, open programs and features, right click HP Quick Launch and choose uninstall.

    Once complete, download and reinstall the Chipset driver below.

    Chipset Driver - Windows 7 32 bit.

    When this has completed, restart the laptop.

    Then, if you haven't already done so, download and install HP Software Framework from the following link.

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp54501-55000/sp54714.exe

    Once this done, download the next version of the software HP Quick Launch and save it in your downloads folder.

    HP Quick Launch 2.7

    Then, if you do not have an extraction utility installed, download and install 7-Zip

    One when you're done, open your download folder, click with the right button on the HP Quick Launch Installer, select Extract 7 - Zip, select the files and then click Ok.  Open the newly extracted folder, click with the right button on the configuration and select "Run as Administrator" to launch the installation.

    Once this done, reboot the laptop and let Windows load completely for a few minutes before checking if the fn + b key now works in combination.

  • HP Probook 4530 s quick launch buttons

    Hi, today, when I woke up the laptop the keyboard did not work... So I uninstalled with drivers

    I know a simple reboot would have been enough, I was too hasty... I am the keyboard driver to a standard Windows keyboard driver, and my left Fn, CTRL key and probably others stopped working.

    So I found that installing is quick launch them buttons work again, BUT they are switched (I guess the QLB driver is for other laptops). Installed from here:

    I could not find a more recent version, not to mention one for Probook s 4530, anyone help with it please?

    PS I also reinstalled HotKey support, no help for that...

    SOLVED.

    Installed HP Support Assistant, which has installed stuff like Atheros driver net, then a few updates to Windows, and then a new BIOS of this HP SA. And now its fixed, nice

  • Quick launch will never return?

    Use to be - back on 10.6, you can customize the toolbar to search and set up application icons for a quick launch. Having moved to 10.10 by a couple of Mac along the way and bringing more via a time machine backup, I still have some of these buttons to request that me is outsourced. Some of the icons have been removed if an application has been updated and cannot be replaced by the new. This feature will never be restored? I think he went after 10.6. I of course do not miss.

    What I do is use Keyboard maestro to assign apps to function keys. A little memorization required.

  • Tx1000 and quick launch buttons

    Hello

    I have a Tx1000 (REF RX695AV) on which I did a clean install of Windows 7 ultimate x 64.

    The touchscreen works can I open/close and drag the programs with the stylus.  So do the buttons (Play, following precedent and Stop) multimedia.
     
    What does work are the four quick launch buttons (screen rotation, display settings, start the QuickPlay, DVD).  I tried to install Vista 64 (sp38171.exe) for the latter and while I now have a driver listed for the buttons located under the computer management, on the triggers of associated program starting a 'known compatibility issues"of Windows 7.  (If I run it there seems to be problems with Windows Explorer.)
     
    The button that I really want to work is the screen turn.  (The display settings are nice to have).  Can I do to get this key work?

    Finally, as an aside during the work of the touch screen, multi touch does not work.  Do I have reason to assume that it is a hardware problem?

    Thank you Tim

    I have the same problem on a tx1340ea.

    After that I extracted sp38171.exe ran setup.exe in Windows XP (SP2) compatibility mode, and it works very well.

    Ok...

    I didn't know that you have Windows 7 32 bit installed.

    I gave you some 64-bit drivers.

    This is why you got this error... Make sure it is designed to work with Windows for 32-bit systems

    See if this graphical 32-bit driver works...

  • HP Quick Launch HPWMISVC service does not start after the installation of new

    Hello

    I installed an SSD in my laptop as the C: drive, and I did a clean install of Windows 7 using an official ISO image, which eliminates the partition HP Recovery, sorry . I have installed sp54001 - HP Quick Launch, which is correct, but the HPWMISVC service will not start. My research, I found that the service is supposed to allow interaction with the desktop. However, this feature was supposed to be turned off in Vista because of security risks. Any thoughts? Thank you very much.

    Hello

    I did more research and it seems that HP Quick Launch, it's not what I'm looking for. I was looking for visual feedback for volume changes by using the function keys. I opened the Windows Mobility Center and pressed the up/down volume function keys and the volume changes indeed. It's good enough for me. I thought that special software was necessary. Thank you very much.

  • Quick Launch Taskbar won't hold settings...

    To-do bar / Quick Launch will not hold settings at the next startup. This means that when I adjust the top margin of the taskbar and the right margin "pinches", when I restart, settings are default and lost to what is already in stuckrects2. I found some of the stuckrects2 parameters, but I need more. Or, I would like to know what registry locks setting - prevents writing the Explorer shell/back in the farm register... I know that the taskbar are kept in RAM memory, until I get out. This means that windows will not / cannot write back to stuckrects32. I would like to know which words/bits are involved in the establishment of the right margin and what are the codes to specify the position of the right margin. I have the settings for the top of the taskbar (high number of lines in the taskbar). A, as far as I know, NOTHING to with hide/no hide/auto hide/blocking etc. I know that there are many other registry keys that might be involved, but I still have to find the keys or parameters of dex/hex for key values. Does anyone have a list of the values for each of the 40 bytes (words) stuctrects2? Thank you

    This issue is RESOLVED.
    This setting can be found in HK_current_user\software\microsoft\\windows\currentversion\explorer\streams\desktop\taskbarwinxp.

    As a test, I had exported the test account taskbarwinxp in a directory of test account-keeping. When I rebooted my regular account, and after that I saved (exported) taskbarwinxp, I replaced the key test for regular and rebooted. When the Office was re-established, the test settings (which is what wanted) were correct. I re - put in the bar of tasks and rebooted. However, the adjusted parameters were ignored. That experience has not, except to point to something else.

    After continues a number of theories have to do with group policies and save/don't save the settings, I searched the internet for functions to shut down windows. This is because changes to the taskbar are saved in memory and written to the registry only when windows stops. I found an article on how to speed up the closing. I theorized that my windows could be closing too fast. So I tried to slow down.

    While following the instructions (below), which is really very fast. I made adjustments to record a second (1000ms) always fast but not instantaneous. and who does the work. The size of taskbarwinxp reduced value of 85 KB to 6 KB (when it is exported) and accepts all the changes. This large size is a clear sign that the value has been massively altered, but it was the stop settings that caused the problem.

    Here's what I did:
    I changed the values in the key and following subkeys and 1000 (dex)
    hk_c_u\control panel\desktop HungAppTimeout
    hk_c_u\control panel\desktop WaitToKillAppTimeout
    hk_l_m\system\CurrentControlSet\\Control WaitToKillServiceTimeout
    hk_users\default\control panel\desktop HungAppTimeout
    hk_users\default\control panel\desktop WaitToKillAppTimeout

    According to the article, the parameters may go up 5000ms.

  • Lack the "Switch between Windows" button in my Quick Launch toolbar

    From: Daz 150969

    I don't have the button tab in the taskbar in order to operate the Aero of the computer part. My card under windows is 5.9. I can run aero if one press tab, ctrl and windows key and it work very well, but I think that there should be a button on the tab in the taskbar?

    From: Andrew McLaren

    The "Switch between Windows" button in the toolbar quick launch is enabled by a file called "Window Switcher.lnk" in your Quick Launch folder. If this file is missing, the icon does not appear in the Quick Launch toolbar.

    You are probably missing this file and need to replace it.

    You can get a copy of the original file here:

    "C:\Users\Default\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\Window Switcher.lnk"

    This place is normally hidden in Explorer (you won't see it).

    To put it on your own toolbar quick launch, go to a command prompt and enter these commands (replace "" with your real username, of course!  :-) -

    C:\>CD C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

    C:\Users\launch \AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick > copy "C:\Users\Default\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\Window Switcher.lnk.

    You should see a "1 file (s) copied" message when the file is copied successfully. Then type "exit" to exit the command prompt.

    The "Switch between Windows" icon now needs re - appear in your quick launch menu.

    It will be useful,
