Steve, Thanks. I think I was modifying the wrong place. So this will make all hot keys application specific, right? What if I want some that are and some that are not? How can that be done?
Thanks for your quick help.

Do a search for Keyboard.RegisterHotKey, and you should come across a line that looks like this: Set registeredHotkeys(iniKeyID) = Keyboard.RegisterHotkey(SO_HotkeyManager.Key(iniKeyID), SO_HotkeyManager.Data(iniKeyID)) So, to register it for the active program, add ClientInformation.Applicationprocess like so: Set registeredHotkeys(iniKeyID) = Keyboard.RegisterHotkey(SO_HotkeyManager.Key(iniKeyID), SO_HotkeyManager.Data(iniKeyID), ClientInformation.ApplicationProcess) Clear as mud?
