Microsoft keyboard (8000)'s play button opens Windows Media Player rather than Zune on Windows 7

Microsoft keyboard (8000)'s play button opens Windows Media Player rather than Zune on Windows 7

I'm currently using the Microsoft 8000 keyboard on Windows 7 and before installing Microsoft's Keyboard application, it was opening Zune and playing music with the play button. After installation, it is now opening Windows Media Player (WMP) rather than Zune.

"This is a bug and it's not just you.

I sent a bug report to Microsoft and have not heard back from them on this yet... (a year later). I will also point out that if you have both Windows Media Player and Zune open and something playing on one and something paused on another...(giggle) they will toggle the playing state..."

Make sure you're setting Zune as the default player in the "Set program access and computer defaults" dialog.
