How to map Logitech keyboard play/pause/stop/etc keys to w..

[Guest]

I have a logitech keyboard which has play/pause/stop/next/previous keys
on the top row.

When I press the play it brings up Microsoft CD Player. I want to
bring up Winamp. Is this possible ?

I also want to disable the Sleep key on the keyboard. Cause when I
accidentally press it, there is no way I can bring the machine out of
sleep.

Thanks.

Use the scancode map. This can be graphically edited using SharpKeys from RandyRants.com (at least that's where the details from the executable file link). I have changed other useless keys to something more useful. I have seen the actual logitech keys as options. You can also remap a key even if it is not specifically on the list (it must be there with the label of unknown though, but I guess all possible scancodes are there).

Remap them to Windows media keys, then using a registry modification change what the Windows media keys do (this one is something I can look up, I have just made the problem more general and somewhat more common, I have actually found a solution while looking for a fix for my own keyboard, but I've lost it -- I erase my Internet history very often)
