Disable Quick Launch Shortcut Keys

One of the new *features* in Vista is that each item in your Quick
Launch toolbar gets assigned a keyborad shortcut (e.g. win+1, win+2...
win+9). Is there any way to disable this? I tried hiding the toolbar
but i still can't reclaim the shortcuts.

Win+2 doesn't do anything here unless I make the Quicklaunch toolbar
visible. Whether it is assignable to anything else or not, I cannot
say.

Insert something clever here.

Re: Disable Quick Launch Shortcut Keys

I have the same problem. No matter what I do I cannot reclaim the win
+# hotkeys. If anyone finds a solution, I'd be happy to know.

RE: Disable Quick Launch Shortcut Keys

Has anyone heard of how to disable this "feature"? It is driving me nuts
because I have used the Win + n shortcut for years to switch desktops in
AltDesk.
