Thanks everyone. The nice thing about these little Autohotkey applications is the fact that there is no fiddling with editing Regedit or any other files. All I have to do is create a very small Autohotkey application file, and invoke it. And if I choose not to invoke it, my keyboard remains unaffected. I have just created another Win key using the Caps Lock key, a key that I almost never use. This has solved my problems with that rickety new keyboad in the form of a "V," almost. I've retired it in favour of my old solid IBM Model M. MWP ---------------- On Thu, 25 Jun 2009, Brian.Henderson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx wrote:
I'm happy it worked for you, Maben. That confirms for me that the application is keyboard independent. As for "#"...I don't know, offhand, why it's referred to as "pound". I seem to hear it most when automated phone systems tell me I need to hit that button. Maybe they're anticipating the amount animosity that is likely to be focused on that key. -BH
