Bind physical "calculator" button on windows 7 to a different application

0

I have a physical "calculator" button on my (Microsoft) keyboard which launches the windows calculator. I'd like to bind it to launch SpeedCrunch instead. Can it be done?

Thanks!

1The Microsoft "Mouse and Keyboard Center" includes settings for the various special keys. It lets you set the application to run when the calculator button is pressed. – Brian – 2014-08-04T13:29:21.070

As suggested here, the solution is to edit

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/software/microsoft/windows/currentversion/explorer/appkey/18/ShellExecute

Alternatively, as suggested by Brian, download the Microsoft "Mouse and Keyboard Center" and edit the button's function through it.
