What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Hide StExBar toolbar (Alt -> View -> Toolbars -> StExBar unchecked) 2. Close Windows Explorer, then re-open it.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Default hotkeys (Ctrl + Shift + C, Ctrl + M, Ctrl + Shift + R) and a couple of custom ones I added do not work. The only hotkey that I found to work when toolbar isn't visible is Ctrl + Shift + N.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? 1.8.1.847 Windows 7 64-bit

Please provide any additional information below.

That's by design: when the toolbar is not visible, it isn't loaded by explorer and therefore isn't running. The Ctrl+Shift+N is working only because that's the hotkey of the Win7 explorer itself to create a new folder. That one works without StExBar being installed.

Can't really do anything about that, since if StExBar isn't running, it isn't running.

OK, and thanks for the quick response. I guess I was thinking since the functions were available in the context menu the hotkeys should work, but of course the context menu integration is independent of the toolbar.
