Ok, here's the thing... I have windows ME, and I'm using a keyboard that has those extra keys on top - e-mail, www, favorits, back, foward, and multimedia settings. I do not run a program to use their functionality, most of them are already functional through Windows ME. I know that in Windows XP I can use Tweak UI to edit their functionality, but does anyone know how to edit what they do in Windows me? I'm comfortable with editing the registry or downloading something to edit them, but I'd rather not run a program to change what they do. Most of the programs I find for using Hot Keys in windows are simply CTRL+ALT+key type short cuts. I simply want to edit their functionalit in windows itself without running a separate program so they do what I want.

Some manufacturers call them Enhanced Function Keys, other places call them Hot keys, but I can't seem to find where to edit them! Thanks for your help!!!

No - there was no CDROM that came with the Keyboard. Like I said, maybe I wasn't clear, i want to know how to edit the key functions through windows, not through a program. Maybe through the registry, or some other program that came with windows.....

Those default hotkeys are fixed. You cannot change them unless you install a program that allows changes to the default keyboard mapping. Irregardless of what you want, you will have to locate the manufacturer of that keyboard, go to their website and hope they have program that allows remapping of the keys.
