I want to program a macro key to open an application, such as file explorer or an Office application.  How do I do it?  The help video only shows how to setup gaming steps.  Thank you.

@tonywilk Welcome to HP Community!

 

I understand that you would like to program the macro keys.

 

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, however, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details:

 

What is the product number of your device? Use this link to find it: https://hp.care/2aSlUnS

(Ensure you do not share any of your personal information such as serial, phone number, email ID, etc...).

 

You could refer to Keyboard Animation and Macros from the link: https://hp.care/2pRPFtO.

 

Keep us posted,

If you would like to thank us for our efforts to help you,
