I thought it might be better like this:
<Registry Root="HKCU"
Key="Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run"
Action="write" Name="SIHotkeys"
Value="[MYDIR]\hotkeys.exe" Type="string" />
but that didn't work either. Sorry to be asking what are no doubt
stupid questions but I don't think the documentation is very clear.
Cheers,
Bryan Rasmussen
