I tried it and it works. Do you know of any way (even non-free) utility that would allow me to assign this so a SINGLE key (i.e. PrintScreen, ScrollLock, etc.)? Thanks for this great tip.

Don't know why this should make a difference, but the shortcut key didn't work for me until I assigned EXACTLY as article described. Now it works like a charm. Thanks!

Any ideas? I have a shortcut to the tool on my Quick Launch already. Maybe this affects it? Would be good to fix it - looks like a useful tip. Thanks Geek.

I have tried to use Ctrl + F12 but nowt happens. Nowt in full screen and nowt in normal toolbars view. Maybe I have to active this type of acess. Now how do I do that? Oh to be a geek or in my case just a competent tennager would probably be enough. Well I spoke to soon. I have tried to use Ctrl + F12 but nowt happens.
