Global hotkeys / Media control keys - iTunes for Windows

I have a Dell multimedia keyboard with volume and media control keys (Play, Stop, Next/Previous, etc.)

I can use these keys to control iTunes when it is the application in focus, but if it's minimized or another application is in focus, the keys do not work for controlling playback.

Does anyone have a suggestion to make these keys control iTunes all the time? I want to be able to use them when playing a full screen game, for example.

Some extra info: these keys will properly control Windows Media Player 10 at all times. There is no Dell utility or driver to "program" the keys.
