We need to reset the CTRL+q key combination back to default. Is there a
place in the registry or an application that will list the customized
shortcut key list that have been assigned to icons without having to check
every single icon's properties to find the one that's assigned to that key
combo.

This is going to sound really stupid but...

Won't pressing Ctrl+q tell you what's been assigned to that particular
sequence? And won't you be able to tell which icon the shortcut belongs to,
given the event(s) which follow(s)?

Come to think of it... Ctrl+q, as a sequence, isn't being hijacked by
anything assigned via the 'properties' dialog of a desktop icon. The
shortcuts used for desktop items must contain a total of three keypresses
(Ctrl+Alt+__, Ctrl+Shift+__, Alt+Shift+__)

Another possible discovery method would be to also [purposely] assign the
sequence to another behavior and wait for the system to tell you that the
shortcut sequence is unavailable "because...."

If there were a look-up table which charted keystrokes to behaviors, you'd
probably have to know the escape sequence for Ctrl+q (ESC$[017 ? i forget).
It wouldn't be very user-friendly if the system were expected to read it.

Are you sure this isn't coming from some kind of a "hot keys" application
that's mapping for you?

We have an Oracle application that assigns the CTRL +q to perform a specific
function. The function quit working and even after a total removal and
re-install of the application it stilll remained inop. We thought there was
some spyware or third party app that was installed that seized the control so
we were just looking to see if there was a listing of existing assignments.
I had already thought about re-assigning the hot key, but like you said it
requires the 3 key combination. Got a tip from a friend to use DOS Edit and
type CTRL+p then CTRL+q to reveal the CTRL-q pass. It was wrong. Turned out
to be a bad keyboard. It's always the simple things that trip you up.

Thanks again for you help.
