Is anyone using the logitech wireless keyboards? Along the top, as with most wireless keyboards, there are a number of "multimedia" buttons also called "quick launch" buttons that are programmed to launch things like Internet Explorer, Outlook Express and so on with a single keypress.


On the logitech, there is a "mute" button to the left of the Volume+- buttons. I've accidently pressed it a few times since getting this keyboard and spent hours trying to figure out what caused my spanking new laptop to suddenly lose speech. This key checks and unchecks the master mute checkbox in the windows volume applet. Thanks for the gray hairs Microsoft!


Question: How can I program these keys, or disable them? I can't find any software that seems to be controlling this special keyboard input.
