The c550 has 4 media player hotkeys.... back, play/pause, forward and media player.

The thing is my media player button opens IE and the back/forward/play buttons are all associated with WMP. I dont use WMP and want to use the hotkeys with Core Pocket Media Player but when I press play for instance it will automatically jump to WMP.

How can I dissociate the media keys from WMP? Ive searched the registry high and low!

Many Thanks for the quick reply!

That certainly did the trick for making the media player button open a media player and not IE!

Now I have an idea of what to do i'll get on it.

Hi,
Try this link.

It works on my C550 allowing me to choose either WMP or TCPMP to be used with the hotkeys.
If you search further in the site there is another method available also.

The gpcarreon route works extremely well with the C550. It brings TCPMP straight to the fore and the >> and

Many Thanks for the replies.
That looked like a dream come true at first but it didnt work for me, probably because I have a qtek rom on my phone. I'll keep looking for a solution but its no great loss because I doubt ill ever use the video feature anyway.... ill have to remember not to touch the hotkeys when using core player.

Great link though!
