Anyone know how can I remap winkey + a number in Windows 7?
I use that kind of combination in Vista to launch programs from the quicklaunch, but now in Windows 7 that combination is assign to the first ten open programs.
And I'm not getting AutoHotkey to override that combination (for example #+7::Run Notepad).

Thanks for your help, this program is really great!!!

The feature can be disable with this registry key:
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer]
"NoWinKeys"=dword:00000001
Save to .reg file and import or browse to the location with regedit and create a new dword entry named NoWinKeys, set the value to 1.

Restart or kill explorer.exe from windows task manager, then run explorer.exe from file/new task (run).

Always be careful when messing with the registry.

great tip toone, thanks!

Anyway, I see it disable all WinKey shortcuts (for example Win+E), do you know if it's possible to disable only WinKey shortcuts with number (Win+7 for example)?

I don't think what happend, but I reactivate the winkeys, and now Win+number is working correctly.

Looking at the forums seems that disabling the Win Keys and then reenabling them produce same strange change that allows them to work correctly. Look here http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/viewtop ... =nowinkeys

lol, I found it on msdn as an option to disable win+x keys. I, naturally, assumed X being a digit. I was wrong!
