Rebinding Keys on a Dell Keyboard

Solution 1:

It looks like you're going to need some additional software to do this for you. There's some excellent links here and here.

In particular:

NirCmd is an application that changes the volume and more.

Example of use:

* Increase the system volume by 2000 units (out of 65535)
nircmd.exe changesysvolume 2000

* Decrease the system volume by 5000 units (out of 65535)
nircmd.exe changesysvolume -5000

* Set the volume to the highest value
nircmd.exe setsysvolume 65535 

Solution 2:

You can perform "key rebinding" on Windows for any keyboard using AutoHotKey. Here are some examples (from my AutoHotKey startup configuration) that show how to control the sound card:

 #z::Send,{VOLUME_MUTE}
 #=::SoundSet,+5
 #-::SoundEet,-5
 Capslock::Send,{MEDIA_PLAY_PAUSE}

('#' means the Windows Key, you can also specify any combination of control, shift, and alt keys).
