I've d/l'd most recent (5.5) of Intellitype Pro software for the MS Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 (had same problem with 5.3 as 5.5). Whenever I use a hotkey #1-5 to launch a program, it pops up the context menu for DynDNS (program that is quitely docked in system tray).

Searched newsgroups and MS Knowledge base, but couldn't find a reason for this. It's annoying -- what on earth is the software sending out that would make this particular program receive a right-click message?? The tray icon is even hidden...

This post is a long shot, but thought I'd ask... Ideas??

Just wanted to post the fix that I found (though I'm probably nearly the only one on earth who's interested in it...).

Go to DynDNS and instead of having "none" for shortcut key to open context menu, set it to something -- anything -- and it won't pop up when the hotkeys are pressed on the keyboard. Weird, I know.
