Vista - MS Natural Keyboard 4000/Vista: Hotkey to open/close optical drive

I should add:

I have the latest keyboard drivers from HP, but still couldn't locate the
key file which performs this task :-(. I presume there MUST be one.

It'll be in the registry. Program one of the similar keys with something
bizarre that you know won't be in the registry. Once you've programmed that
key, search for your entry. The other keys will also be in the same area.

A very interesting idea, and I tried it, but no luck.

I just can't find a registry item that seems to correspond with
opening/closing the CD(DVD) tray.

Maybe I should plug in the oem keyboard and see where the key points to?
