Re: Winkey not working properly in Vista

Well, Winkey hasn't been changed since version 2 came out in, like 1999. It
worked in Windows 98, 98SE, ME, and XP. So there's no particular reason it
shouldn't work in Vista.

It's really a shame. Winkey is one of the most useful utilities there is.
It makes it possible to have up 200 easily assignable Winkey combinations so
that instead of the Windows key only being used for a couple of things, it
can used for starting applications, folders, documents, webpages, running
..vbs files, anything. I can't imagine using Windows without it. Yet
Copernic didn't value it enough to maintain it, and Microsoft didn't value
it enough to include it in Windows.
