I just tested this on Vista, and you are right, it does not seem to
work if you have set the hotkey there. It may be a conflict with the
already-set hotkeys for the items in the Quicklaunch toolbar. If
you're not familiar, on Vista you can use Win+1, Win+2, etc... to
start the 1st, 2nd, etc... icon in the quicklaunch bar. This feature
is not there for XP though.
I suspect that it would work just fine with winhotkey if you were to
point the target to the shortcut in the quicklaunch bar, but I haven't
tried it. At that point, it's just another path.
