How to assign Hot Keys

[Guest]

Hi, I have Windows XP with a Microsoft MultiMedia Keyboard 1.0A. It has the
following hot keys:My Documents, My Pictures, My Music, Mute (and other Media
Player ones like play, stop, etc.), Mail, Web/Home, and Messenger. However
all of them do not work (such as Messenger,My Music, My Pictures, and My
Documents).Is there a way I can assign them to the respect locations or even
change other pre existing ones? It would be quite a helping hand

You can assign or change them at Start | Settings | Control Panel |
Keyboard. If you don't see the keys listed there, you haven't installed the
correct driver for your keyboard.

I tried that since I read that's how you would do it, however it said it only
worked with 2.2 + or something like that. I have 1.0A... As for the driver,
maybe you're right, but there was no cd or anything like that, nor do I know
what driver should be installed.
