Is it possible with xpadder to assign a button to launch an application ? I can't quite figure that bit out - I want the start button to launch XBMC

You bet. You give any app you want to control a windows shortcut keystroke, say CTL-ALT-X (properties->Shortcut->Shortcut key) and then assign a key to that keystroke sequence. Easy peasy.

There's some real good help documentation included with xpadder that explains everything if you go through it.

Ah cool thanks. After all these years I never knew about windows shortcut keystrokes. That makes it pretty simple I guess.
