Re-assign (Remap) ThinkVantage Button in Windows 8

I am trying to change which program launches when I press the ThinkVantage button on my T530 running Windows 8. As it shipped, this button launches (I think) the following file:
%windir%\system32\dxpserver.exe
Which arrives at a window with this in the address bar:
Control Panel\Hardware and Sound\Devices and Printers\[name of my computer in this Windows installation]
This settings & advertisements launch page is not very useful to me, but launching something else or assigning keyboard input to the key would be great.
Various threads here and elsewhere say that in Windows Vista and 7, this registry value will change the ThinkVantage button's behavior:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IBM\TPHOTKEY\8001]
"File"="C:\\Windows\\[program I'd like to launch]"
...but that key doesn't exist, and when I add it myself there is no effect. I find two references to dxpserver.exe elsewhere in my registry but I have not had any luck editing them.
Has anyone solved this yet?

I recently did a clean install from Windows 7 to Windows 8 and the Thinkvantage button no longer works (x230 model).
After searching the net all I could find was the reg hack suggestion for Windows 7, which does not work for Win 8 (at least I couldn't get it to work).
So..............I called support and the guy (aside from being a <filter>), said that the only thing that I could do was roll back to Win 7 to get it to work - no thanks.
In short:
Me:  "...In Win 8 this button is completely useless?"
Support: "Yes."
Me:  "I'm shocked that Lenovo would design their product this way."
Support:  "I don't mean to be rude, but you should have checked if it would work before you wiped your hard-drive with Windows 7."
Me:  Silence
Support:  Lecture on OS upgrade
I literally had to stop the guy from lecturing me on what I need to do before I upgrade my OS...
Anyhow, entertaining as the conversation was, that button is now useless...it would be nice if I could get it to do something useful...
Looking forward to a solution!
Cheers.

  • Thinkvantage button remapping problems

    Since the update to Lenovo Solution center my thinkvantage button has been opening Simpletap, a completely useless program since my x220 is not a tablet. Once I uninstalled simpletap AND the Thinkvantage toolbox, I wanted the blue key to start Lenovo Solution Center. I went to regedit and changed the "File" string to C:\Program Files\Lenovo\Lenovo Solution Center\LSC.exe and I even changed the Default string to the same exe. I know this works because I can open other programs like notepad with the button, just not LSC. How can set it to open LSC? Is the location wrong?

    Hello BrandonK,
    The ThinkVantage blue button can be programmed to run any executable file as long as you have the ‘hotkey utility’ installed. It’s owned by the hotkey features located in the registry at: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IBM\TPHOTKEY
    Notepad.exe is the easiest to set up to open because you don't need to create batch files. You are only creating registry key (8001) that doesn't exist anymore because you performed a clean install.
    1. Open notepad (Start > Accessories > Notepad)
    2. Paste the following text:
    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\IBM\TPHOTKEY\8001]
    "File"="C:\\Windows\\notepad.exe"
    3. Save the file anywhere and name it whatever you want, but change the file extension from “.txt” to “.reg”
    4. Open the .reg file you just saved, use the big blue button to open the notepad program.
    Best Regards,
    Tanuj

  • Discussion: Assigning a software to Blue ThinkVantage Button on Win8

    After upgrading to Windows 8, I couldn't get ThinkVantage button to work.
    This is my experience:
    I found the 8001 registry entry workaround and tried it: didn't work.
    But I found that installing Simpletap links the button to the software, and I did find that the software indeed adds 8001 registry key entry. Uninstalling the software and manually adding the key again didn't seem to work.
    There must be some kind of background service or an additional registry key that's responsible to it. Just can't figure out what it is...
    If anyone in this forum know something about this issue, I'd like to ask you to share your knowledge Thanks.
    To Lenovo: Leaving a button without any function looks VERY, VERY irresponsible to me, especially since you are officially promoting Windows 8 on your website. I strongly recommend you to release a Programming tool or at least disclose some information about programming the button.

    I think you need the Hotkey driver.  I use the Win7 one on Win8, as I have the Win7 ThinkVantage Power Manager, Access Connections and Communications Utility installed.
    All seem to work fine, apart from Access Connections, which loses my wifi connection every half hour or so.
    The Win8 Hotkey driver that's linked to here is rubbish, as it doesn't work with the Win7 tools and it even complains about Lenovo Settings not being installed, which is some mysterious Mtero app that is unavailable to pre-'30 generation ThinkPads in the Windows 8 App Store
    I really hope that Lenovo releases Win8 versions of Power Options, Access Connections and Communications Utility, as upgrading to Windows 8 (as advertised on Lenovo's own site) leaves you with a crippled ThinkPad!

  • Remapped mouse buttons do not work in CS 5?

    Remapped mouse button functionality works fine in some programs ( Bridge, Dreamweaver, Soundbooth )
    But act non-existant in others ( Photoshop, Illustrator )
    My experience is with an Intellimouse optical and intellipoint software ( newest drivers for win 7 )
    Win 7 x86
    Anyone have a similar experience with cs5
    And/or know of a registry setting?

    I created a
    new Windows account and the problem went away
    remapped buttons work fine in the new account. Doubt it was preferences as I didn't have time to set any.
    What I "DID" do however was to customize my remapped buttons by hacking the intellipoint registry settings.
    intellipoint doesn't support spacebar in it's remapping list
    if you want MMB panning functionality so u don't suffer navigation dyslexia
    when switching between apps ( "most 3D apps" )  the
    acsii for space is "20" .
    not having to relearn mmb panning muscle memory makes one very productive.
    the best UI is your UI
    someday there will be  a common objectn/viewport navigation "standard".
    ( deviation from... punishable by something truly horrible )
    Otherwise why can't everything just be customizable?
    ( can I assign mmb to the"interactive" hand instead of the "hardcoded" spacebar yet? )
    either way...
    I hacked my registry once again. Just like before but remapping is still working fine in the new account.
    I guess I'll just delete that old account.

  • How can I get ThinkVantage button working again? (after a full HD rebuild)

    WindowsXP Pro, ThinkPad T60   (2007-F4G / UT0F4UK)
    Hi
    How do I get my Thinkvantage button working again?
    Background:
    I had a virus attack and as a precaution I zero-ed my ENTIRE hard disk (using KillDisk). I have managed to re-install most things, including I now have an icon on the taskbar called "Launch Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox". However I would prefer it to be fired up by my pressing the (blue) ThinkVantage button at the top of my keyboard.
    I have refused point blank to pay the (outrageous) price of GBP 40.00 for Lenovo to send me a CD with Windows etc on it, but have managed (eventually) to rebuild the entire disk driver by driver until the ThinkVantage Toolbox thing (version 6.0.5449.31) could take over and bring my drivers up to date when I Update my system.
    (It's just that they may have gone in incorrectly??)
    Is there something I should have done during installation.
    Ship

    Hi Ship,
    1. Install these for thinkvantage button:-

  • Enabling ThinkVantage button after clean OS install (X230)

    I'm going to install an SSD in the mSATA slot of my X230 and then do a clean install of Windows 7 x64 on it (setting the SSD to bootable and the HDD to not bootable).  I'm concerned that this will render the ThinkVantage button unusable (particularly since that's what happened when I upgraded my X61s from XP to Win7).  If this happens, is there a procedure for restoring its functionality?  Thanks.

    Because Windows is supposed to be installed differently on an SSD than on an HDD.  It takes care of itself with a clean install.  With a clone I have to go in and reconfigure it.  I believe it's just activating TRIM and AHCI, but I'm not sure that's all.

  • Lenovo ThinkVantage Button W500

    Recently Installed Window 7 Pro 64 bit and the blue ThinkVantage button is no longer working.  Is there a driver update for this?

    Have you installed all the Thinkvantage applications from the Lenovo site? On my W500 the blue Thinkvantage button starts Lenovo Toolbox (old PC Doctor I thnk) so be sure you have that downloaded from Lenovo.

  • Thinkvantage button no longer glowing

    I recently upgraded to Windows 7 and now my Thinkvantage button has stopped lighting up its blue LED. Anyone else experiencing this?
    Any drivers or firmware in the works for this, Lenovo?

    I'm sorry, this is not going to be an answer - I just wanted to say that my think vantage button no longer works either - it does absolutely nothing.  I noticed there was a bios update today and I'm wondering if that had anything to do with it.  I'm also having trouble playing movies - it wants me to change my screen resolution and some other weird thing which I am not going to do.  It played movies fine yesterday.
    Of course I'm out of warranty so there will be no resolution.

  • T400 ThinkVantage Button doesn't work

    Hey, I have a problem with the ThinkVantage Button. I was plan to use Powerquest PartitionMagic 8.0 to create a new partition from my C driver. However, instead of create a new partition I lost the Lenovo driver. After that I realize my ThinkVantage Button doesn’t work anymore. I tried to use Disk Management to refund the lost driver, but it pop out some warning like this “The operation failed to complete because the Disk Managemen console view is not up-to-date.” Could anybody tell me how to make my ThinkVantage Button work again? Thank you very much. System:T400Core 2 Duo 2,26 GHz2 GB DDR3Windows Vista home basic 32x Sorry for my English.   Greeting and thanks 

    Hello nivek, welcome to Lenovo forums!
    I think you have messed up your R&R partition, with Pmagic Use gparted instead, it will recognise the R&R partition.
    Is your windows installtion already working?
    Try the master boot repair kit mentioned by AndyP here.
    I would also suggest to call support, for your recovery discs, cause the create R&R disc function seem also down.
    Perhaps only a fresh installation, from these discs, would bring back your Blue Button function in your case.

  • ThinkVantage button startup behavior changes after Rescue and Recovery

    I recently bought a Thinkpad X301 (2777-CTO). When booting my computer, I see the following message: "To interrupt normal startup, press the blue ThinkVantage button". Initially, when I press this ThinkVantage button on startup, I get a "Startup Interrupt Menu", pictured at http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/4773/startupinterruptmenu.png
    This menu is useful since it allows me to either enter the BIOS, start Rescue and Recovery, select a device to boot from, or simply start normally. However, after choosing the Rescue and Recovery option once, this menu no longer appears. Instead, it goes straight to Rescue and Recovery from there on without giving me the choice to enter the BIOS configuration or select a boot device.
    I find this new behavior problematic for a few reasons:
    - The behavior of the ThinkVantage button at startup is inconsistent (a menu that should appear no longer does after running Rescue and Recovery once).
    - There appears to be no straight-forward way of reverting back to the desired (original) behavior.
    - The initial prompt on the power-on splash screen is now misleading. Although it still says "To interrupt normal startup, press the blue ThinkVantage button"; the way the button acts, it would probably be more accurate to say "To start Rescue and Recovery, press the blue ThinkVantage button" instead.
    - This behavior breaks the "Option Keys Display" option in the BIOS setup. Although I enabled this option, which should cause the system to display which key does what (e.g., F1 for BIOS), this is not displayed.
    - Running Rescue and Recovery results in a loss of functionality (instead of simply restoring the system to the initial state).
    - And anytime I press the blue ThinkVantage button (as instructed) instead of F1 or F12, I end up wasting several minutes, waiting for Rescue and Recovery to finish booting before I can properly shut it down and try again.
    This problem appears to have existed for a long time (since 2008; http://forum.notebookreview.com/lenovo-ibm/241845-thinkvantage-boot-menu-boots-straight-into-rescue-... ). However, the only "solution" that I have found is just a workaround: avoid pressing the ThinkVantage button (as instructed by the power-on splash screen).
    The ideal solution would be to have a BIOS (or Rescue and Recovery) update which will prevent the ThinkVantage button from losing its original function after running Rescue and Recovery. I know that this is a minor bug, but this bug and another BIOS bug (in the network boot order menu, which I'll post after this one), which arose in less than a week after I received the computer, makes me question the ThinkPad's reputation for high-quality engineering.

  • Disable ThinkVantage Button and F11

    Is there a way to disable the blue thinkvantage button and f11 key restore functionality on R61 laptops? I have about 900 of the R61 Laptops in a school invironment and would prefer that a student did not perform a restore.

    And how might one disable the "Predesktop" area. Not an option in the R61
    From a lurker:
    "Short of removing the partition and/or replacing the boot manager, you don't disable the predesktop area.  Again, the best protection mechanism to keep unwanted users out of PE is to password protect it via pe_setupmasterpwd.exe.
    Alternatively, in a domain environment, recovery and restore options in PE can be hidden via GPO."
