Note: What those extra buttons do has actually not much to do with drivers. It might help as in: those drivers provide an extra userfriendly way to configure them. But actually those buttons can be configured by just altering some Windows registry settings, no drivers are needed for that at all.

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AppKey

Tweaker programs like TweakUI for example will let you define what those extra buttons actually do too (as it is in fact nothing more than a registry setting).


The reason why re-installing the driver might have worked is because the first time the driver wasn't installed properly and thus also not those registry changes, whereas the second time you installed the driver, the registry settings were altered.
