I use a Windows Explorer type shell program called xplorer2, and in that program I use the function key F8 a lot to create new folders. When Fastkeys 5.05 is running, pressing F8 opens the Fastkeys program window, even when I'm in xplorer2 and trying to create a new folder. When I exit Fastkeys and then press F8 in xplorer2, it creates a new folder as intended. How can I disable the F8 key assignment in Fastkeys or assign a different key to that function of opening the Fastkeys program window?

Thanks!

I found the answer myself (should have checked the Preferences - duh!). In Fastkeys, Preferences, General, Shortcuts, Settings Shortcut was set to F8, so I changed it to F7 and that got rid of the conflict between Fastkeys and xplorer2.
