Try HKLM\software\microsoft\shell\keys
These keys show the apps I have set on my ppc to run when one of the
external buttons is pressed. I don't know if you can link these to actions
within a program though, but I'd think it's just program launch.
WMP9 has a Tools menu option, settings, then button allows choice of play,
pause, next track, last track etc. Does WMP8 not have these settings?
