Download latest release (or build yourself)\n2. Place it in your startup folder - the global startup folder is `C:\\ProgramData\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Start Menu\\Programs\\Startup`\n3. Run program one time or relog to activate it - you may see a little command window pop up while it does its thing and Explorer will restart automatically\n4. Done!\n\n# Build\n\n## Visual Studio Solution\n\nThere is now a Visual Studio solution supplied.\n\n0. Ensure you have the latest version of Visual Studio - Community Edition is fine (but VS Code isn't!) with C++\n1. Download or clone the source code and extract it\n2. Double click on OfficeKeyFix.vcxproj to launch\n3. Click the `Build` menu item then click `Build Solution`\n4. The bottom pane should show you where it placed the binary, but it should be in the `x64` folder of wherever you put the source code\n\n## Manual\n\n[Compilation setup instructions (archived from original repo)](https://web.archive.org/web/20201025005256/https://github.com/anthonyheddings/OfficeKeyFix/issues/1).\n\n# Development Resources\n\n## Microsoft Documentation\n\n- [Virtual-Key Codes](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/inputdev/virtual-key-codes)\n- [RegisterHotKey function](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winuser/nf-winuser-registerhotkey)\n- [UnregisterHotKey function](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/winuser/nf-winuser-unregisterhotkey)\n\n# Alternatives\n\nThis [branch](https://github.com/acook/OfficeKeyFix/tree/logon) is a complete rewrite of this project which removes the explorer restarting and runs in the background ensuring that explorer doesn't try to reacquire the keybindings. It may be useful as well.\n\n# Authors\n\nOriginally by Anthony Heddings, whose [account](https://archive.softwareheritage.org/browse/origin/directory/?origin_url=https://github.com/anthonyheddings/OfficeKeyFix) disappeared years ago. My fork became the new source (presumably) because it just happened to be the oldest.\n\n- @mlidbom     - provided the Visual Studio solution\n- @Vechro      - several improvements pulled from their fork\n- @jorystewart - dynamic key checks\n- @Gh3ttoKinG  - documentation resources\n- @acook       - basic maintenance \n\nThe [logon branch](https://github.com/acook/OfficeKeyFix/tree/logon) was written by me (@acook) with almost nothing remaining of the original.\n\n# License\n\nTo my knowledge Heddings did not leave behind a license or any way to be contacted, just released the code and dipped a year or so later without ever responding to a single message.\nI believe that this software is useful but that there is no other reasonable way to perform this task in C++ due to the sheer simplicity of it, making it difficult to argue copyrights.\nThus, to maintain continuity for the people forking and using it I am placing further changes under the [BSD license](https://opensource.org/license/bsd-3-clause).\nThis license was chosen because it is the most permissive license which also includes a non-endorsement clause.\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Facook%2Fofficekeyfix","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Facook%2Fofficekeyfix","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Facook%2Fofficekeyfix/lists"}
