    My Dell keyboard has a button that will load the windows calculator. I want it to load the PowerToy Calculator instead of the default. I tried uninstalling the regular calc program, and renaming the powertoy.exe to calc.exe in the C:\Windows\System32, it worked the first time, but for some reason Windows keeps making a new calc.exe file (which is the default program). I'm not sure how it is doing this since I uninstalled it...but it is finding a way. Any ideas?

    I just got nod 32 and when I go to manually update it keeps telling me my password or username is wrong and I have checked and cannot find anything wrong

    It is better to start your own thread, than to hijack another persons.

    Some say that TweakUI has a Command keys selection, that should allow you to specify the applications associated with the keys.
