key combinations

Where are the key combinations you assign for a shortcut to start a program stored? For instance if I go to the properties of a program icon and assign Ctrl-Alt-S as a shortcut, where in the registry is it stored? I have one, and only one program the shortcut key stopped working. If I try to...

It's possible to assign actions to key combinations in all sorts of places (Settings, PowerToys, individual applications, etc), but if I want to change something I can't always remember where I set a particular combination. Is there a central place I can list all the definitions and (hopefully)...

Hello, Every now and then while I play a game in full screen, I get this very annoying search box thingy (see screenshot). I'm guessing I'm pressing some sort of key combinaison for this thing to appears? It's so annoying, I don't know what to do. Say I'm playing Battlefield Bad Company 2 in...

For some odd reason W7 has recently taken to shutting down when I press the # key. It does this even in combination with other keys, like Shift, Alt etc. I don't have much use for the key but sometimes I do use it and almost always forget that it triggers an immediate shutdown. I tried using an...
