    Hi, I'm using a HP Pavilion 6061 desktop. Some application on the machine has registered CTRL SHIFT F10 as a hotkey (when this hotkey is invoked a dialog appears on screen with the words "Enumerating device displays..." as its caption). This is a real PITA when debugging in Visual Studio because CTRL SHIFT F10 is used to set the next statement to be executed. Is there anyway to find which application has registered the hotkey so that I can disable it? I know that I can just change the keyboard shortcut in Visual Studio but I'd rather be able to use the same settings on each machine that I use. Thanks, dlarkin77

        Hi, I've just run HotKey Detective 2 and it reports that there are no hotkeys defined. Any other ideas? Thanks.

          I was able to track down which application owned the hotkey by killing processes one at a time in task manager. It was a program called Display Tune, once I killed it I was able to use CTRL SHIFT F10 just the way I wanted to. Thanks, dlarkin77

            Could you accidentily be pressing the fn key when doing the ctrl+shift combo? Various companies do tend to like putting the fn key right where ctrl should be.

              Thanks for the suggestion Stuart but I was able to get this issue sorted. See my reply below if you're interested.

                (almost) No hotkey finder would have been able to find that, most only find hotkeyed shortcuts that can be hiding in strange folders that you would never visit yourself.
