MWSnap does takes up systemwide shortcuts, but only when I launch it. Currently it is not launched. There are many OTHER utilities running in my system tray and I can't tell which one might have grabbed that shortcut.
I need a program that can tell me which shortcuts are already in use; and which applications are using them.
Alternatively, information about registry locations that store this info; or tips about how to find that information elsewhere.
Any ideas?

The easiest way to do this is to close all programs running including those non-essential in the system tray and go from there.
Use the StartCPL program to look at which programs are run at start up, disable them, then close/end any others using the task manager. Then re-start your PC.
Once you get to a known level, you can re-start the programs one-by-one until you find the problem application.

Too many "free" and otherwise installations end up there.
Aside from XP which i know ziltge about,i have had W98 and now me and use "selective startup" I have 95% of my resources at bootup.
