Bm.exe is the file executable for Hewlett-Packard Button Manager, a program that enables the user to configure the Quick Launch Button using a series of Keys, Mouse, or Program Functions. The Button Manager functions in three ways: 1. The Key Combination Function which the user can set one User Button to represent a key combination and perform functions like the Alt+Ctrl+Del using a single button, 2. The Mouse Function which works by setting a User Button to perform a particular mouse operation like performing a function such as the Left and Right Click, 3. The Program Link Function, by setting a User Button in launching a frequently used program. The Taskbar Button Manager helps the user arrange the desktop buttons on the Windows taskbar using the drag and drop method, and requires no hotkey. In addition, there is a special program window provided for the movement of the taskbar buttons.
