Ah!

Ah! Sure enough Gary, there are *two* partitions in addition to my C:.  Neither show a drive letter, one is 40 MB at the beginning, "FAT" (not FAT32), followed by my C: partition, then finally a 4GB FAT32 partition.  Since it's not just a matter of renaming an Executable, I think I'll leave well enough alone & not mess with the 4GB they "robbed" <wink> from my drive ...

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
My Inspiron 9400 has a separate button called &quot;MediaDirect&quot;, which launches some kind of Dell Media Player application.<br />
<br />
The &quot;somewhat junior level&quot; Dell support person claims that the function of that button cannot be changed, and that this &quot;Dell Media Player&quot; application is actually installed in a separate partition fron the rest of my hard drive.<br />
<br />
Does anyone know if it is possible to change this button's function, or maybe install a different application into that separate partition so as to use that button to launch some other application?

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.
