Windows 10: Disable LAlt key underlined menu selection in Windows programs Photoshop etc.

You can use any software if it supports AutoHotkey .ahk scripts. I use FastKeys so I show the solution in that. I will write it detailed so if you don't even know what autohotkey is, doesn't matter.

// -------------------- If you know what you are doing -------------------- //

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

just paste this in your script: Alt::Return

1. download fastkeys or autohotkey you can download portable versions too and use them without installation


2. make a file with .ahk extension in %fastkeys install folder%\Documents\Scripts just make a .txt file and rename .txt to .ahk, for example disablealt.ahk. If you don't see file extensions, you can enable it in file explorer's View ribbon menu


3. open a text editor notepad, notepad++ and open the created .ahk file


4. paste this code:


Alt::Return


5. save it, run and open fastkeys -> go to Shortcuts -> create new with the + symbol -> Change the button on the top left to Command -> paste this to the text field:


%dir%\disablealt.ahk


6. run the script with the shortcut you gave. You can see the script running by looking the duplicated fastkeys icon on the windows tray. There is two ways to make it stop: close the mentioned new script icon with mouse right click, or you can add this code to the .ahk file and just enable/disable the script if you don't want to use it:


^!p::Pause ;will pause if you press Ctrl+Shift+p


You can use any shortcut where:

^ = Ctrl
! = Shift
+ = Alt


or just check autohotkey documentation or forum for more combinations :


There are other codes to try but for me this was the only one that worked.


I hope this helped, have a nice day.

Can't Select Photoshop as a Default App

Hi
I've just downloaded Photoshop CC2018 and tried to make it the default photo viewer, but it does not appear in the list of apps that I can select from. Have also tried doing the same for opening .jpg files, but just the same, no Photoshop! I have rebooted the system a couple of times but it makes no difference.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
