Malcolm,

I do not know how it would behave in other locales. You may try the following:

1. For the first WEb/List dialog
- instead of key combination "S~" try {DOWN}{ENTER} or
- follow http://weblogs.asp.net/kdente/archive/2004/07/13/181912.aspx to edit the registry and get rid of the dialog completely.

2. For the "Open With" window. You may try to find the actual Window Title for the class "#32770" or just window handle for this class with, say, FindWindow and GetWindowText WinApi_s.

But, again, I do not know details, so the class name may differ depending on the locale.

>Awesome! That did the trick. But it seems specific to US English with the S~ and AppActivate "Open With". I assume both the ~S and "Open With" strings would probably be different for other locales?
