Hello, I have recently bought a new laptop... I am a big MS Office user, and
I often use the shortcut Alt-F11 to open the VBA editor in Office
applications. But the 'Web-Camera' application UVC 1.7.115.0213 (made by
Chicory) has co-opted that shortcut, so anytime I try to use the VB Editor,
I get a lovely image of me toiling away at my desk instead.

I would like to take the shortcut away from Web-Camera, so that it defaults
back to its usual use.

Anyone know how I can do this?

Thanks
Mx
 
Those keyboard shortcust aren't defined b Windows, they are defined by the
various applications you have installed. (Well, Windows does define *some*
keybard shortcuts of its own; but they're only a small subset of the total
keyboard operations active at any time). If the Web Cam app is so
inconsiderate as to co-opt a hard-coded Alt-F11 all the time, there';s not
much you can do to stop it - except possibly uninstall the application. If
you're lucky, the webcam app will have an option to select a different key
combination. But bottom line: this is defined by the applications, not by
Windows itself.

Hope it helps a bit,
Andrew
