Disable keyboard shortcut used by ATI display driver
The solutions below worked in the past and are listed here for reference.
Solution 1:
- Right click on the desktop
- Choose "Properties"
- Click on tab "Settings"
- Click on "Advanced" button
- Click on "Display"
- There is a frame called "Scheme" or so. Here you need to set the hotkeys to "None"
- If it is already set to none, set it to some other key, re-open the dialog, and then set it back to none
Solution 2:
- Open Regedit
- Go to
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ATI Technologies\Desktop\{3746CA2C-F39F-4980-8ACD-6F46E003707E}\Profiles\Schemes\Environment\Switchamongstdisplays] - There is a value "Hotkey"=dword:00000474
- Change this to "Hotkey"=dword:00000000
Please note that Alt+F5 cannot disabled for some ATI drivers. Then, the only way to get the keyboard shortcut Alt+F5 working again in Total Commander is to close the ATI Control panel running in the system tray, or by disabling the ATI Hotkey Poller service.
