I just tested this on Vista, and you are right, it does not seem to work if you have set the hotkey there. It may be a conflict with the already-set hotkeys for the items in the Quicklaunch toolbar. If you're not familiar, on Vista you can use Win+1, Win+2, etc... to start the 1st, 2nd, etc... icon in the quicklaunch bar. This feature is not there for XP though. I suspect that it would work just fine with winhotkey if you were to point the target to the shortcut in the quicklaunch bar, but I haven't tried it. At that point, it's just another path. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
