How do I unregister them? Specifically the Win X key I used to use to increase the volume on my XP with AutoHotKey.
Can you atleast tell me what too look for in the registry? I figured if I searched for the mobility center.exe(what ever it’s called) it will come up, but no luck.
Any suggestions? Please help!
Thanks,
me

I have sent Shortcut Icons to the Recycle Bin and then deled the Shortcut Icon. The “Shortcut Key” assigned to that Icon will not work on another Shortcut . Windows does not see the Shortcut Keystroke as unused and now available. It seems to be a glitch in XP Professional.
Do you know of a way to regain the use of these keys?
