Windows Logo key combinations stop working after .NET install

[Sammy Jenkings]

Hi,

I recently installed the .NET Framework 1.1 and now my
winkey combinations have stopped working.

ie
winkey+e == windows explorer
winkey+r == run
winkey+f == find files

etc

Any one have any ideas how to get them back?

Its doubtful that he .NET Framework update caused this. Click Start, Run and enter REGEDIT Go to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

Look in the right pane for a value called NoWinKeys. If it exists, double click it and set its value to 0 (zero). If it doesn't exist, right click in a blank area of the right pane, select New, DWord value and name it NoWinKeys. Leave it at 0. Log off/log on to see the change.

No, it definitely started after the .net install. machine
worked fine with no software install for several months,
winkey worked fine, installed .net framework, winkey
ceased to work. nothing has been done since other than to
investigate (look at) system settings etc.

and yes, iv checked all those kinds of registry settings
(nowinkey combo and the one to turn off the winkey all
together)
