Is using additional software acceptable? – Daniel B Sep 07 '14 at 12:15

Yes, it's acceptable – onetrickpony Sep 07 '14 at 12:23

2This is not a duplicate because the OP wants to start the program on the first key press. Controlling foobar with the key comes after that. – Daniel B Sep 09 '14 at 17:34

I agree with Daniel. This is not a duplicate – nixda Jul 26 '15 at 10:54

@DanielB, nixda: How do you figure that this question isn't a duplicate? The five-year-old question covers both aspects. – Scott - Слава Україні Jul 26 '15 at 11:45

@Scott No, it doesn’t. Multimedia keys cannot be used in `.lnk` shortcuts and the play key doesn’t launch any program by default. The OP doesn’t want to launch it with some “Media Player” key or whatever, but the play key. – Daniel B Jul 26 '15 at 11:51

The key to Windows is outside of the standard 104-key ( or whatever is the standard ) subset. The solution to define the behavior of that key or any key outside of the standard sub-set is the same. – Ramhound Jul 26 '15 at 22:44
