| Guest | Assigning hotkeys for Vista Hi! I would like to assign some hotkeys for various functions in the Vista RTM. But, I am not sure where this is done, other than perhaps some assignments in the EOA. Where/how might I be able to assign some various hot keys in the Vista? Jan  |

| Guest | Re: Assigning hotkeys for Vista Hi Richard :-) Thank you for your time and help, but, perhaps I have misstated what I need. I want to reassign a keyboard key, such as F9 as an example, to do a different function than its original function. How would I do that? Or is it possible?
