Windows key shortcuts stopped working

[Guest]

A few days ago all of the windows shortcut key combinations, ie winkey + E
for windows explorer, stopped working. Does anyone know where it might be
possible to re-enable these or if there might be some other problem. Cheers.

Captain,
Change the Keyboard with another one and see if the Keyboard gone may the
sea solt did affected it <grin>.
Another to scan your computer for malwares amnd viruses from here:
http://www.lavasoftusa.com 4 Lavasoft SE 4 Personal use.

Also look in the Event Viewer for any Error Messages (X) and send them here.
Go to the control panel >> Printers and other Hardware >> Double click your
Keyboard and on the Keyboard Settings Window and see if there is any
confilect.
HTH.
Regs,
nass

If shortcuts starting from Winkey are not working :

WinXP Pro :
Start - Run
gpedit.msc
User Configuration --- Administrative templates\Windows Components\Windows
Explorer
Double click "Turn off Windows +X hotkeys" and set it to "Not Configured"

This is probably the easiest...
Enable/Disable the Windows Logo Keys
http://www.dougknox.com/xp/utils/xp_logokeys.htm

There are three registry settings. Disable left Windows key, Disable right
Windows key and Disable both Windows keys.

Hope this helps. Let us know.

i had the same problem and the only post on this thred that worked was
that of Ayush, this was his posting:

WinXP Pro :
Start - Run
gpedit.msc
User Configuration --- Administrative templates\Windows
Components\Windows Explorer
Double click "Turn off Windows +X hotkeys" and set it to "Not
Configured"

but it was already set to "Not Configured" so i tried "dissable" and
did a restart and it worked perfectly

Glad to know that..


Good Luck, Ayush.
