Maybe a few people here already know about this but the action performed by the front keys on your jornadas is set in the registry...therefore you can change the action made by these keys with a simply registry editor and even with Total Commander
(\\\registry folder
)...
WARNING: REGISTRY EDITION NEEDED!!! IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO EDIT THE REGISTRY PLEASE LEARN THAT FIRST XD!
Ok, how does it work?
Believe it or not, the Volume up/down and play/Pause features are achieved by means of executing programs... actually when you press the "volume up" key, you are executing the file
"\Windows\VolumeUp.lnk", that is a windows shortcut....
Similar goes with
VolumeDown.lnk and
PlayPause.lnk....
How does WindowsCE know WHAT file to launch?
That's stored on the WinCE Registry...
Check out the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Keys key
(folder
)..
Contains lot of subkeys
(subfolders
) named like 40BD, 40C1, 40D0, and so on...
We are interested on these: 40D1, 40D2 and 40D3
40D1 = Volume Up
40D2 = Volume Down
40D3 = Play/Pause
The Default value for 40D1 reads "\Windows\VolumeUp.lnk"...
try changing this value to "\Windows\cmd.exe".... save and then hit the volume up key..... the cmd console window should be launched
Well, we can assign ANY executable file to these keys using this method....
Someone asked me this a few moments ago.. and since It may be useful for someone I decided to post it too......
