I don’t have any global hotkeys options. Is it because my keyboard does not have any media keys? I would like to be able to map keys, for instance ctrl+n to next song. Any idea how I do that?

I successfully used your tip here. I just wonder why my Windows Media Player(WMP-Microsoft) launches when i press my play/pause media keys. Is there a way to stop WMP from launching? It is annoying .

Wow thank you so much, even though it was down to my pure laziness I never thought of checking winamps settings!

Had this keyboard for almost 1 year and now i can use it fully and all within 2 mins checking this page!

Thanks again

Now how do I do this with a laptop that only has the media keys when pressing the function button, as in “Fn+down” for play. Whenever I press fn+down, windows media player starts up. I would like to stop this from happening and have winamp do it instead. If that’s not possible, I would at least like to be able to use the play/back/forward buttons like they should be.

Thanks!

Mr. The Geek,

Thank you!! I’ve been wondering about how to make those keys work…I had not checked enable hotkeys. Now they work like a charm.

Great blog!
