Mobility Site - View Single Post - Utility to Switch Apps via Hardware Button?

BTW, just discovered that you can assign a shortcut to a button directly by going into the registry:

Location: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys

The keys for buttons 1 - 6 are located in 40C1, 40C2....40C6. Under each key, there is a Default string that you change to link to the shortcut of the program you want to assign to the key. The icon and resetcmd strings should be unchanged.

But it seems there's a check to see whether the program was installed correctly before it will launch. Trying to assign AltTab.exe directly to the button gives an error about it not being "signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found." AltTab.exe when launched manually works just fine.

Hmm....so where's the key to sign a program anyone know?
