  1. It installs and use AutoHotkeys to perform most actions, it changes many registry settings also and, if you don’t like the changes it’s a real PITA to recover your previous state.

    The enhancements are really good and useful. I tryed this program some moons ago and I found that uninstalling it don’t recover the changed settings.

    I do not know if the current version has fixed these problems. Good post VG and thanks for share.

  2. Hello! Help me please! Write how to install it? ..
    For two days I am suffering, nowhere is there information about how to install, even on the official website
    When you install appear:
    1) Note: The hotkey “c:: will not be active because it does not exist in the current
    keyboard layout
    2) Error at line 25093.
    Line Text: #ezzRunExplorerO
    Error: Invalid hotkey.
    The program will exit
    windows and the installation is complete (
    And so on all 4 computers I tried to establish the same messages (
    Thank you very much!

  3. ^^ It might be a language/locale problem. If possible try to change language and locale in your Windows to English US and then try to install the program.

    Also make sure you are using correct edition of 7Plus i.e. 32-bit/64-bit.
