Dell Quickset
Version 9.2.13 and higher of Quickset runs as a Local Machine Process - no longer a startup item :) You will also have the new style volume/screen brightness on-screen indicators and Dell Extended Battery Life option. To utilize this new version, we have to do a few things before running the installer. In order to still access your lid backlight and touchpad/speaker leds, you need to have the following Quickset versions installed, in the following order (very important - install over the existing version). So, without further delay, here is the correct order...

v8.2.20 A09, Last Updated: 03/27/2008
v9.0.12 A00, Last Updated: 06/26/2008

Once these are installed, run the installer for v9.2.13. When running this version's installer, you may be prompted to customize install, if so be sure to select Custom Install and set it to not install keyboard backlighting. The module for backlighting is written for the Studio line and not the XPS M1730. Don't worry, your backlighting will still work as normal. With this version, you will have the new style volume and screen brightness popups - much better than the old style. and it will run as a Local Machine process.

v9.2.13 A05, Last Updated: 01/09/2009

Next, download and run the installer for 9.4.6. You will be prompted to upgrade Quickset, select OK/Continue.
