MS Comfort Curve Keyboard 2000 + Outlook 2007

[ElDog]

Hi All,

I'm not sure if this post should be placed here because it is related to
vista, MS keyboard and MS Office.

I have Vista Ultimate 32 bit with all recent updates, Office 2007 ultimate
(all updates) and MS Comfort Curve Keyboard 2000 v.1.0.

The keyboard works without installing any extra drivers. Clicking "Mail"
button always starts one more window of Outlook even if it has already been
started. I could easily open 10 windows. Normally, it should somehow detect
that Outlook is started and open the existing window, right?

Not that it makes many problems, just for support to know.

Regards,
Artem

This can happen if the /recycle switch is not added to the command line that
launches Outlook. With the switch, only one instance will open.

The keyboard does not detect what windows are open, it simply issues the
command associated with that key.

Most probably, true, but it's a keyboard from MS which works under vista
without any additional software. There is no place where I can change buttons
behaviour, at least, I don't know about such a place. Maybe somewhere in
registry...

The idea is that MS Windows working with MS keyboard and MS Office should
somehow understand the correct way to call mail client.
