Hello everyone,
Here is my problem : I added some hotkeys to switch desks. I assigned ALT+F5 to !VWMDesk 5 . I recycle and it worked fine, but later (recycling again) i had the error message "could not register hotkey ... bla bla". When i pressed ALT+F5 it made my screen blink (like a refresh), but i couldn't figure out which program was using the hotkey.
So my question is : do you know an app that would show which hotkeys are already assigned and which programs use them ?

Nope,

But the easy way to find one would be google ;)

And an easier way to find which prog is using the key is:
Close all apps.
Load all the apps you had running 1 by 1 and see which "steals" the key.

Simple ;)

and it has to be one of your tray apps that starts really early...prolly something associated with a system service if yer on an NT kernel.

I tried google before asking ;)
The only relevant answer was Hotkey Detective which you must pay to download :(
I haven't got any error message since i rebooted...
And as long as it's working ... :)
It can only have been a tray app or system service. Maybe my graphic card, even if i couldn't see any hotkey in the config panel.
Thanks for your answers ;) (and sorry for wrong section Mr Admin)
