Hi zmau,

What LANGUAGE and VERSION are you working in here?....
Hotkey Detective 2: Download It Here
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,944583,00.asp

excerpt....

Hotkey Detective 2 fills this gap by showing you a list of all the hotkeys defined on your system. Duplicate hotkey assignments are displayed in red. To change a hotkey, simply select it in the list and click the Change key button. Click Locate in Explorer to make other changes to the shortcut, or remove it entirely. The program also lets you print out a list of your hotkey assignments.

Never used it personally, but have seen it online on more than one occassion....

Can you put your answer there so I can give you the score ?

I'll try them (Curiosity killed the cat).
Do you have any idea "how do they work" ?

Still, I want to know how do I do it in a software which I am installing to other people on other computres.....
