Default Problems transferring WinKey to another account

Hi everybody
I'm in the process of transferring my user information, desktop
preferences and favorites to another user account.
However, I'm having some unexpected problems with WinKey.
In the first account, I make extensive use of WinKey shortcuts there
being more than 50 shortcuts in WinKeyMgr. However, in the new account,
the WinKey menu shows up as an abbreviated version of the first with
only 30 shortcuts, some of which are those which I had actually deleted
from the version in the first account some time ago.
As far as I can see, this data for WinKey is only stored in c:\program
files\winkey so both accounts should present exactly the same WinKey
menu.
Am I missing something here?
TIA
Paul

Why not ask the author?
I haven't looked at Winkey since 1999 and then it held information on
shortcuts in the Registry.

Hi Alan
Thanks for your reply.
Actually, before posting I had looked on the WinKey Help/FAQ site only
to find that Copernic have not provided support for WinKey since June
2005.
If you know who else I can contact, please give me some contact
details.
Thanks
Paul

Hi Paul

Please quote previous messages when you reply.

Sorry, I haven't used it for seven years, so I have no current
contacts.

Have a look in the Registry under the Winkey shortcuts and see if it
is what you want.
