Configuring the hotkey mechanism

[Rik Wang]

Beginning with Version 3.8 PowerStrip has to support several hotkey mechanisms, and the one it autoselects may not always be the best for your OS.

To manually override:

1. Close PowerStrip if its running
2. Open the pstrip.ini in Notepad
3. Add or change the following switches:

[Global Options]
AlternateHook=m
LibraryHook=n

(where m is either 0 or 1, and if m is 1 then n is either 127 or 255. If m is 0, n has no effect.)

4. Save the file back to disk
5. Restart PowerStrip

NB: Windows 7 and Vista users may simply need to run PowerStrip with administrative privileges for hotkeys to work inside other fullscreen applications.
