You might also be interested in checking out Run++ (http://puzzleware.net/runpp/" rel="nofollow">http://puzzleware.net/runpp/">http://puzzleware.net/runpp/" rel="nofollow">http://puzzleware.net/runpp/) it is a replacement run command with lots of cool features. Not to mention it is written in C# (I plan on releasing the source code after .NET Framework 2.0 is released).

Another utility to check out is WinKey (www.download.com/3000-2344-913626.html?tag=lst-0-1" rel="nofollow">www.download.com/3000-2344-913626.html?tag=lst-0-1">www.download.com/3000-2344-913626.html?tag=lst-0-1" rel="nofollow">www.download.com/3000-2344-913626.html?tag=lst-0-1). It lets you bind commands to a combination of the Windows key and most other keys on your keyboard.

The biggest downside that I have found with it so far is that you can't modify the shortcuts if you are aren't an administrator, but you can still use the shortcuts fine in that case.

and hotkeycontrolXP is my favourite. you can bind macros or files as well as volume controls to key combinations. it works well with most games, has a little footprint on memory so on. it's worth checking. http://www.digital-miner.com/hkcontrol.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.digital-miner.com/hkcontrol.html">http://www.digital-miner.com/hkcontrol.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.digital-miner.com/hkcontrol.html
