Volume Buttoms as D-Pad

I searched and didnt see this program anywhere on here so I thought I would share. I really like it... If it is mentioned somewhere, please delete this post.


"
VolDpad is a small resident application that allows the use of volume keys of the PDA as a D-pad (joystick) on those devices that lacks it. The program remaps all six functions in only two keys and allows the use of volume keys normally during calls.

-Volume UP is remaped to d-pad UP. Can be hold for autorepeat.
-Volume DOWN is remaped to d-pad DOWN. Can be hold for autorepeat.
-Double click Volume UP is remaped to d-pad LEFT. Does not support autorepeat.
-Double click Volume DOWN is remaped to d-pad RIGHT. Does not support autorepeat.
-Double click with hold in Volume UP is remaped to d-Pad RETURN with Hold.Does not support autorepeat.
-Double click with hold in Volume DOWN is remaped to d-Pad RETURN.Does not support autorepeat.
-If a call is being established or is active the volume keys will behave normally.
-Running the file a second time will close the resident with a small tone.

The program is small (7Kb) and remain resident without making use of CPU, it is simply a keyboard hook.
To install it copy the file werever you want and execute it. If you want it to start automatically after a Soft Reset make a link (DO NOT PUT THE FILE DIRECTLY) under \Windows\Startup or your locale equivalent."

*****Note: I did not see a icon in programs but noticed it started automatically and cut/pasted the lnk from windows/startup to windows/startmenu. I am using the old start menu....easy toggle there.
