ObjectBar doesn't intercept Ctrl+Esc
Thursday, November 6, 2003 by Lucian Wischik | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
ObjectBar is very nice! But I normally open the start menu by pressing Ctrl+Esc. And ObjectBar isn't intercepting this hotkey. Instead, Ctrl+Esc just pops up the normal Windows start menu.
I tried adding Ctrl+Esc as a hotkey to the relevant place in ObjectBar configuration. But in the 'hotkey' box it asks you to press the hotkeys you want to assign. And whenever I try to press Ctrl+Esc to assign them, Windows merely pops up its old-style start menu.
How can I get ObjectBar to work with Ctrl+Esc, please?

Turn off the Winkey in WIndows XP 
Then the Ctrl-Esc will be grabbed by OB I am thinking...
