global action not working on some windows ...

global action not working on some windows ...
July 20, 2011 05:20AM
Hi all, everything is in the title: on some windows the global action i have defined to close a windows (hotkeys ALT + F4) does not work ....
It seems that this affects all the administrative tools (e.g. services.msc, taskmanager, regedit).

Note that when I use ALT + F4von those windows, they close ok.

I must be missing something. I used the same thing on XP for ages without problem, and recently switched to win7 64 and I have this problem .

Any ideas?

Sure. Those windows are elevated, that is, SI won't be able to work on them unless it is started elevated as well. Run SI as admin if you want to use it in admin/elevated apps or other apps started as admin.
