Hi Patrick,
Whenever you encounter a hotkey problem like this, you need to do a little
detective work to determine what hot keys are actually stored on your
computer. You can do this by downloading a utility like Shortcut Key
Explorer (link below) which will list all the hot keys on your computer,
including those assigned to non-existent programs or those stored in
"hidden" system folders not otherwise accessible through the Properties
page. You might be surprised to discover that you have hot keys you never
even knew about. You can use the Apllications key to delete or modify any
hot key in the list. Once a hot key has been deleted from the list, it can
be reassigned to another program through its Properties page.

Subject: Another hot key question
Hi all,
The recent email regarding hot keys reminded me of a question
I've had for awhile. I am using Spybot, and I assigned it the hot key
of control-alt-S. But, when I installed a new version of it, the hot
key didn't work. I tried reassigning the same hot key combination to
the new version, but the shortcut refuses to work. What I'm thinking
is that the original key combination is trying to activate the older,
non-existent version of Spybot on my computer, but I don't know how to
redirect it and fix the problem.
Can anyone tell me what's going on?
Thanks.
Pat
