I may have elevated the wrong notepad.exe (notepad.exe appears in several
location in Window directory) but on further reflection Notepad is more likely to be
highjacked and if microsoft would have deemed it safe it would have given it the
required elevation. In view of this I think that FileNotes Windows Tagger is more
efficient, works in any folder and is safer.

You can elevate anything with this;

If you are happy with what you have then that's fine.

Found this awesome software.
With storage disk coming in Tera bytes, softwares like this will come handy.

Here's another small hotkey utility I wrote. It's called 7Folder.
It's for Windows Seven only.
There's a hotkey in Windows Seven, Control-Shift-n, which creates a New Folder if you press it in an Explorer folder window or on the desktop. I don't like 3 key combos so I wrote this to allow me to just press F7 function key as in FreeCommander.
Here's a link to my hotkey page:
http://www.favessoft.com/hotkeys.html
Just scroll down or search for 7Folder download link.
I don't know if it's an issue with Windows Seven SP1 or something else, but I am getting feedback that the class name for the Desktop is now not guaranteed to be Progman as it has been for years. It's Progman on my machine. The reason it's important is because the 7Folder hotkey is only active when Explorer or the Desktop is the active window. This prevents the function key from being stolen from an editor or other program that uses it. I'm hearing that some instances of Windows Seven have WorkerW as the Desktop class name.
Rather than chase around MS changes I'm including the source code and custom icon in the download. If you wish to change the class name for the Desktop or remove the Desktop altogether from the DesktopGroup in which the hotkey is active, you can change the source and compile it yourself using AutoHotKey free software.
In any case, it works fine as written on my Windows Seven machine.
The Control-Shift-n hotkey only works in Windows Seven. Therefore on program start it checks the Windows Version. Anything less than 6.1 it will produce an error dialog and quit.
It calls _EmptyWorkingSet() to reduce memory usage while sitting in the Task Tray.
7Folder is free for you to use at your own risk. I hope you enjoy pressing a Function key to get a new folder instead of Control-Shift-n.
See Readme.txt for instructions to change the hotkey.
OTOH if you are a mouse person you probably don't care anyway. :)
Indeed, "progman" wont work as expected on my machine. (Windows 7 x64 Ultimate SP1 ), and I have to use an older version of Autohotkey for my scripts. Bit of a pain.............

For those using a lot of keyboard shortcuts, Shortcut Key Explorer scans your computer for global keyboard shortcuts (excluding Windows native ones). Double click a shortcut on the resulting list let's you edit it. Very practical for those like me who have a lot of self created key combos for various purposes.
