Send me the .OOB; I would always edit the .OOB file, not the .XML. Use Notepad++ not Word!

The Force Editor has to be open for these to work, I think. I'm still using XP, but W7 hopefully doesn't effect these functions.

I finally figured it out got a new keyboard with an flock key and it has to be turned on for the f keys to work.

Well back to beta testing my scenario.
