I had a problem with my button where it wouldn't allow me to backup, this also goes for you because you want to customize it. I used visual Studio 2008 Pro, but express should work as well. I made an application that would start my backup program of choice(Nero backitup) i made it in C#, and the code goes like this
Process.Start(@"C:\Path to application");
and i published the program to the "Release" folder. i then went and found the application executable in the bin/release folder under my project folder in the Visual studio project directory (usually in "my documents") I then took the application executable (not the vshost.exe) and renamed it HpEasyBackup.exe. i went into C:\hp\HPEZBTN and overwrote the HpEasyBackup.exe that was there. now when i push the button, it runs the exe that I put in there. this can be used to customize it anyway you want. you can make a custom windows forms app that allows to to select options for backing up. if you want anymore help just email me at (e-mail address removed), and ill get back to you asap.

I have a HP M9200t running Home premium 64 bit that has a "HP Easy Backup"
button on the front panel. When pressed, it runs a HP backup application.
Does anyone know how to replace this application s

The point I'm asking, is how to interface to the HP Easy Backup button.
The point I am asking, is how to interface to the HP Easy Backup button. Not
the actual application. If I can reprogram/assign the button to do
something else.
OK. So, I'm half asleep, sorry.

I would like to start a different program other than HP's backup program

Did you check with HP's website for details on how to customize
Easy Backup to run another backup application?
