Reconfigure keyboard question

I have an HP keyboard with internet buttons, some dedicated and some
configurable for website URLs.

When used for websites it gets routed first through a URL something like
"...pavilion re-direct..", then once connected it then connects to the
desired URL.

Is there any way it can reconfigured to bypass the HP "redirect" server and
go straight to the desired URL?

Thanks,

Phluge

Generally there is a configuration utility provided by the manufacturer
(or distributor,) in this case, I would look to HP.

Thanks for the suggestion.

They supply the capability to set the certain buttons to your choice of
WebPages. The rest of the buttons are programmed to HP's own choices for
photo, help, etc. and it seems like they want you to go the redirect route
for the ones you can set yourself too -- why else would they involve their
servers rather than let you go default directly to your chosen URL?

I was wondering if I could maybe change the settings in the registry to
over-ride this.

Thanks,

That does seem likely.

I would not be surprised, however, if the developer could not resist
making the mechanism general purpose enough to circumvent that
redirection. Perhaps you can use a facility like FileMon to find out
where the configuration files are being kept, and try to interpret them
yourself.

I'm sorry I can't give you something more specific.
