I'm using a Microsoft Wireless keyboard 3000 and want to change the play button.

When I press this button it opens Windows Media Player but I want it to open Winamp. The media buttons work for Winamp only when it is in focus.

I installed IntelliType but it didn't help (this is also the program that came with the keyboard).

When I tried to enable hot keys in Winamp (options) it threw me this error:

How can I get this working?

Autohotkey may well be your answer!

Media_Play_Pause:: Run P:\ATH\TO\WINAMP.exe

Would open winamp when you hit play, you'd have to use the IfWinExist functions to actually make it play when winamp is already started. Good news, though, one of the examples in the help file is building a set of WinAmp hotkeys, so you'd have no trouble at all :)

A program like Key Tweak might be able do this, depending on the keyboard (and OS) and whether you want to get your hands a bit dirty with commands and parameters.

Otherwise autohotkey is made for this kind of thing.
