About Shortcuts and what I said about it not being possible to link a hotkey with the program that set it,
well, just updated the whole lot [EDIT: About 200 utils] of my NirSoft catalog of utils, and ShortcutsMan, now identifies the program that sets a particular hotkey.

https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/shman.html

NOTE, I had to disable Comodo DNS and switch to Open DNS, as Comodo just would not let me go there, a real pain sometimes that
Comodo stuff. NirSoft is an absolutely brilliant collection of utils, but gets a bad rep with AV software as it has quite a few
password viewing/recovery utils etc, so should perhaps be shown as Pups (Potentially Unwanted Programs), but Comodo DNS
dont give me the opportunity to override it, so Comodo DNS is now out.



Aint nuttin to be scared of, even M$ bundles NirSoft's USBDeview with some stuff.

EDIT: Also InstalledCodec is NirSoft, I'm sure many already use that.
EDIT: Also, the many Live boot CD's that are knocking about, quite often use a dozen or more Nirsoft utils,
Hiren CD/USB probably uses about 50+ Utils from Nirsoft.

EDIT: The linked page makes no mention of OS's after XP, just tried with Windows 10 and works fine.

EDIT: Shortcuts Map, also works (only tested on XP) if you are scared of nirSoft:- http://www.zealsoft.com/shortcuts/index.html

EDIT: One of the NirSoft utils is called something like QuickDNS, lets you switch DNS at the click of a button,
gonna use that and Comodo as primary DNS except where is being awkward.

EDIT: To config Comodo Firewall for maximum security search "How to configure Comodo Internet Security",
on youtube clip @ 33:58 or here:- "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hCoT3fCTxM
You can also set it up with multiple DNS in "Network Zones" (not shown in clip), so that clicking alternate DNS in NirSoft QuickDNS is all that is needed to switch. [You set multiple IP addresses in a Network Zone, and use the named NetWork Zone rather than IP addresses when configuring the firewall 'Application Rules' for svchost.exe].
