TxDot

Assigning a shortcut to an item in the Quick Launch tool bar made no difference.

I actually looked at the properties for an icon on the Quick Launch bar and it did not have a Shortcut defined. I wonder if I assigned a bogus one if that would override the default one established by Vista. I'll have to try that out tonight.

I had already found that site. In fact I posted a question about turning the hotkeys off in this topic; Built-in Quick Launch Hotkeys in Windows Vista. Sadly, there has no response. I'm guessing it'll turn out to be some registry key that doesn't exist but when added will allow the user to control the behavior. Thanks for your efforts.

No problem. I appreciate you looking into it.

Does any one know how to disable the shortcuts or hotkeys in the Quick Launch toolbar? I use the Win + n (0-9) for switching desktops in AltDesk but under Vista those hotkeys are automatically assigned. I have looked all over the registry and haven't found anyway to stop Vista from doing this.
