Ya makes sense and pretty much what I saw; input was getting absorbed by the hotkey app. I'm just thinking if a userland processed hotkeyed all keys when the pass window popped. I'm guilty of quickly typing my pass so I could get 3-4 characters into it before I'd notice input isn't working, and other users might type the whole thing a few times tying to get it to work. I'm just wondering if there's built-in protection against this scenario or just something users have to know about and watch for.

Hi Michael,

Basically RegisterEventHotKey registers given combination of hotkey identified with the keycode. If it happens to be your pressing key is registered as hotkey then you wont be able to see that. Lets say you have registered A as hotkey in some application then either in your password or username field you can never be able to print A and inturn fires hotkey which may be the response of that particular app.

Hope it is clear to you.=
