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

Question

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!

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.
