Latest reports suggest that it was "Eustace" <emf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> in message news:uOL9Mp5GHHA.4112@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx who said something like...
I had assigned keyboard shortcuts (Alt+Ctrl+[letter]) to some shortcuts on the desktop, the Start menu, etc. and they worked OK. Then I decided I wanted to have all these shortcuts in one file, so I would know what shortcuts I have assigned. I thought that once I removed the keyboard shortcut from a shortcut I would be able to use in on another shortcut, but that does not seem to be the case. It seems that once you have assigned a letter to a particular shortcut of a program that's it, you can't remove it from that shortcut and assign it to another one. Or am I wrong? And is there any way to find out which keyboard shortcut I have assigned in the past? Are there at some key in the Register?


If you can't assign the combination to another shortcut, then it probably means you have a duplicate shortcut somewhere (either on the desktop or in subfolders of your Start menu) that is still using that particular combination. Unfortunately there's no easy way of finding duplicate combinations, other than checking each shortcut individually.
