if i knew what i changed, i wud hav reverted back so that the shortcut works! :) i was jus playing arnd the lots lots features it had and i had to restart for some other reasons, dont remember them... and then shortcuts seemed not to work... and i meant tweak xp pro 4 only. btw, is there any other ways by which we cud enable the shortcuts back? some registry changes or so?

i am in the college at present but if i remeber right in the tweakUI provided by MS, its called Win+hotkey, though i m not sure. Also in tweakXP u might have disabled the WInkey altogether.

I found this on the net:
System Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout]
Value Name: Scancode Map
Data Type: REG_BINARY (Binary Value)
Value Data: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 03 00 00 00 00 00 5B E0 00 00 5C E0 00 00 00 00

u might have to make a new binary key for ScanCode Map.

For hotkey: check out this link:

Gotta go now, will try to help more wen i reach home, if prob not solved.
