Hi David,
I am afraid that is totally normal Windows 7 behavior. Win 1-9 will
focus or start programs that are on your taskbar. In Windows 7 you can
attach items there as well and these will be started. I am guessing that
Libraries, Media Player and Firefox are the first three items attached
there. Ctrl+Win+Number seems to work in the same way as Win+Number.
Alt+Win+Number opens the context menu for the item at that position.
You can attach/detach items from the contextmenu of that item. Actually
it is a cool feature, it only turns annoying when it is interfering with
your own hotkeys...

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.
