How to set media button defaults?

20736.jpg


The image above shows what I am talking about when I say "media buttons."

Anyway, I would like to be able to set the default programs that launch when I press either the 'internet' or 'media' button. So far I've somehow managed to change the 'internet' button from IE to Firefox, but am unable to change the 'media' button from Windows Media Player to anything else (I'd like to change it to Foobar2000).

Does anyone know a way of doing this? With or without software.

I'm running Windows Vista SP1, on a Toshiba Satellite P105-S6217.

Yes.

The buttons will open whichever program you have set default.

If Windows Media Player is your default media player, it will open.

Make Foobar your default media player, and it will open with the button.

Click Start, point to All Programs, and then click Set Program Access and Defaults.

Tried it, Foobar doesn't show up in the list of selectable programs. Could this be done via the registry editor?
