acer mediatouch to control winamp

thanks to Snecx for giving me the starting kick

this works thanks to freeware Autohotkey - i have prepared a small script which is compiled into .exe and runs in the background (therefore you should add a shortcut to this into the " Start Menu\Startup " group - so that it loads everytime you start your acer)

step by step

1. download the exe
2. place it somewhere - so that you don't erase it by an accident (Like program files\mediatouch ,...)
3. run the file from its location
4. open winamp and in the Options\Preferences - enable Global Hotkeys ( you can remove all except the last four
Playback:Stop, Playback:Play/Pause, Playback:Previous... and Playback:Next... if you wish )
5. test the mediatouch keys when running winamp

6. when satisfied add a shortcut to the small exe file to the " Start Menu\Startup " group

-----------------------script source code for anybody interested---------------------------------
; play key
SC122::Media_Play_Pause

; stop key
SC124::Media_Stop

; rev key
SC110::Media_Prev

; fast-forward key
SC119::Media_Next

; record key (bottom)
SC15A::Volume_Mute
