So, whenever I press AltGr + E, Windows Media Player Opens, and it's extremely annoying. AltGr is the right alt on European keyboards, used for making letters with accents. AltGr is also just Ctrl + Alt pressed together on American keyboards.

Anyway, AltGr works fine with all the other letters that I want to turn into accents. It's just AltGr + E that opens Windows Media Player for some stupid, annoying reason. Does anyone know of a solution?

And you have a European keyboard, do you?

Right click WMP's exe and check the shortcut tab. Maybe there's a command there you can delete, or setting another one in it's place will override your current one?

E: In the 'Shortcut Key' field, I mean.

E2: Also, it might have to be a shortcut to the exe you have to right-click.

yeah sorry, i said keyboard because i was experimenting with the on-screen keyboard, so i just thought of keyboard.

but the polish, spanish, and french languages all had this problem. there's probably more, but i just tested those three
