I tried searching on this forum and found several topics on the matter, but they were all set to 'complete' so I was unable to reply to them.

Anyhow, regarding to the custom hot-keys: they are gone every time I reboot my computer. This has been going on for several weeks now.
In the beginning it was no big deal since I made a .REG file on which I double clicked and my custom hot-keys were back. But now it starts to get annoying.

I'm running Windows Vista x86 and I have UAC on. I don't believe it to be an administrator issue or anything, because all my settings are kept except the custom hot-keys. Any ideas on this would be greatly appreciated.

I started noticing it from version 3.0.0. The older versions had this problem as well, but they sometimes lasted for a week. IE: A week worth of reboots and nothing happened but now it's after every reboot.

That's a good question, I never changed the standard keys cause I think they are setup nicely (and the fact I'm used to them ). Will change a couple of default keys and report back if these get reset also.

I changed 2 default hot-keys, namely: ctrl-win-q (move window to the centre of the screen) and ctrl-win-x (move the window to the other monitor). I changed them to ctrl-win-d and ctrl-win-c respectively and they were still active after one reboot. But when I logged in this morning they were also reset to the default values of q and x.

Any other thoughts or things you'd like me to try out? More than happy to help.

Are you using any sort of software such as DeepFreeze that reverts your registry to previous versions overnight / during sleep?

Hey John, and no. Just a clean install, as a matter of fact I always stay away from any registry type of software. Only thing that comes close is CCleaner.

You didn't by chance run CCleaner in between these instances, did you?

Hi John, sorry for the late reply, and no. I mainly run CCleaner once a week, just before I make an image of my hard disk.

I even tried a fresh install of Vista Home Premium, but to no avail. It still resets the custom hot-keys after a reboot.

OK, I'll set some hotkeys in Windows 7 and see if it is resetting after reboot here.

Thanks, curious as to what you'll find.

Nothing so far. THey haven't reverted....

Which keys are you changing? I'll change those - since Win7 has built in app movement from monitor to monitor, I now stopped changing the DF keys.....

I like to make 2 new ones, namely:

* Move the window to the center and size it to 100% (ctrl-win-D)
* Move the window to the center and size it 75% horizontally and 85% vertically. (ctrl-win-C)

The 100% one is mainly for application which cannot be set to maximize and the 75%/85% one give you a little more screen space on a widescreen monitor than the build-in ctrl-win-S.

Thanks for trying this out!

I created 2 of them, test1 and test 2. Let's see if this causes any problems.

Any change? Over here I had to use my custom.reg file twice already since DFP 'lost' the custom hot-keys.

Well, I was going to post that they were still there -but they are most definitely *not* there.

As the app has not been updated, I think we call call this a a pseudo-bug (care to write the pseudo-code? )

I'm a little puzzled because doesn't pseudo mean 'fake'? (English is not my native language).

But at your PC DFP also resets your custom hot-keys? Not to sound harsh, but that's good to hear to be honest.

You've got PM, Jon.

Peter - yes, pseudo means fake, or some reasonable facsimile thereof. I write a lot of pseudo-code in my Analysis of Algorithms class, so I was attempting to make a joke.

Since Jon has sent out test builds, I suppose this is in fact a rel bug - Kudos, Peter, for discovering it.

@John: Ah I see And no kudos for me alone, you also helped on this one

@Jon: You are correct.
Windows Vista (x86 Home P.) with UAC on over here. Everything gets saved except the hot-keys, indeed.

Never tried that to be honest, will exit and re-launch DFP to see if it also happens then.
