I am annoyed by the global hotkey Ctrl+Alt+T, which focuses on the taskbar. According to hkexplr.exe the hotkey belongs to explorer.exe.

I tried the solution described in "Disable taskbar hotkey?" (with a T instead of F), but that didn't work.

How can I disable this global hotkey so applications can use it?

    I normally use something like autohotkey to do this.

  • How would that help me to disable a hotkey another application sets? May 28, 2014 at 19:20
  • I was under the impression it was a windows hotkey, hence my suggestion, but it wouldn't help override a non-windows hotkey combination.

Ctrl+Alt+T is not a standard Windows hotkey.

You have some extension/utility program that's creating that shortcut.

Use MSConfig to disable all 3rd party start-ups and services and see if the hotkey still exists. If not, then re-enable the 3rd-party start-ups and services one at a time until you find the culprit that's creating it.

Once you know, decide what to do from there (ie: disable the 3rd party process that's causing it, or use it's UI to configure a different key, if possible).
