| 289070 | 2004-11-07 20:46:00 | For no apparent resaon my home PC running Windows XP no longer responds to shortcut key combinations like windows-m or windows-e. I checked for viruses and spyware etc but the system is clean. |

| 289072 | 2004-11-07 21:56:00 | Thanks johnboy, but neither link is useful. Both windows-m and windows-e have been availbe for years in Windows, at least from Win98. Windows-m shrinks all windows to the task bar while windows-e open Windoes explorer. So they're both able to be used from within other windows. the other link refers to links set up by the user. BTW I have PS2 installed. |

| 289073 | 2004-11-07 22:02:00 | Perhaps your windows key is broken? Does it bring up the start menu when pressed? I would start by looking into regional settings,keyboard settings,whatever..... |

| 289075 | 2004-11-08 06:56:00 | Do you have TweakUI installed? If you open TweakUI for WinXP there is an option to "enable Windows+X hotkeys" under Explorer settings. | Tristan Speak (465) | ||
