SYMPTOMS
========

When you are creating a shortcut key for a program, you can assign a key
combination that has already been used for another program.

CAUSE
=====

Protection against duplication is circumvented when the default
(CTRL+ALT+<character>) is invoked by typing only <character> when
you are creating the shortcut.

RESOLUTION
==========

Make sure the key combination is not in use by typing the exact key combination
that you want to use when you are creating the shortcut.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Windows 95. We are researching
this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base
as it becomes available.
