I mean scratch that/scrap/abandon/whatever. Means don't use it.

Don't use it. Uninstall it and use AHK's built-in Media-keys. Unless your keyboard is not standard and doesn't *really* have the media keys. (does it need some kind of a driver/software to use?)

Exactly. don't install that program at all, and use AHK to customize the keys as needed (in my opinion, this is the best approach). If the keyboard has standard media keys (As it should if it uses windows' drivers) then you can map the Media_ buttons easily with AHK.
