I had an idea of using a couple of hotkeys for one of my app. Under Windows XP, these worked just fine. But when I loaded the app on my netbook, running Windows7 Home, I ran into trouble. Every time I pressed the hotkeys of my app, certain Windows features was carried out instead. I just wonder, if this is normal behavior on those hotkeys - like if it is standard Windows hotkeys in Windows7 - or if my netbook has some unusual ideas of its own.
I planned to use the hotkeys of Alt-Windows-1 through three. But for instance, pressing Alt-Windows-1, I was presented with a dialog, and WE says Shortcut list. Same goes with Alt-Windows-2. I Now decided to switch my hotkeys, and tried the Ctrl-Windows-1 tthrough 3. Ctrl-Windows-1, loaded a dialog saying "libraries". 2, loaded Windows Media Player; and 3, loaded Firefox. I ended up having to go for a totally different set of hotkeys. Since this is my first touch with anything above XP, I might be some kind of a dummy here. But is it so, that we are quite limitted in choices of hotkeys in Windows7, due to the OS being set up with a number of new hotkeys? Is my netbook simply behaving normal, or is this out of standard? Any feedback would be appreciated, so that I don't run into trouble when the app is released and installed on other systems. Yes, I know that the user can go to the hotkey manager, and change the hotkeys to fit his computer. But not everyone knows, and best thing is to have an app that works "right out of the box". Thanks, everyone.
