Reconfigure keyboard multimedia keys

Duki3003:
Does anyone know of good software to do this under windows 7?
It's standard multimedia/internet keys, I would like to reassign a few to launch an application instead of opening bookmarks and search.
I was spoiled by Logitech keyboards which let you reassign any key to do any action...

Keyboard is plug and play, it comes with no driver support.

Ixarku:
Not sure, but possibly AutoHotkey has what you're looking for.  I just downloaded it yesterday as a replacement for Winkey since I switched to Windows 7 over the weekend, and haven't yet installed or really read up on it yet.

EDIT - yeah, I think AutoHotkey may have what you're looking for.  The key list does include multimedia keyboard keys on it.

Duki3003:
I tried it, but I had not a clue on how to use it...
KeyTweak was the closest to what I want, but I couldn't get it to work nor map the keys to run a specific app when pressed.

chaohellsing:
What's the keyboard model?

Something just occured to me, why'd you stop using the logitech one?

Duki3003:
Its "Omega Cassiopeia"

I was looking for illuminated keyboard brand that can be bought here (Serbia), and the price range, performance, ergonomics etc. were relatively pleasing. And I'm not exactly unsatisfied with it, but I didn't think there was no driver support for it or that remapping them would be such a difficult task (I know I can map normal key combinations to do those things, but that's not what I'm looking for).

I know I could have got Logitech "Illuminated keyboard" but it's hard to find here, and the price is a bit much...
