Default Shortcut reply to mail brings up run command

Hello everybody,



I just registered because I hope someone can help me find a solution for the shortcut conflict I have on my new W8 laptop. I installed Outlook 2007 and all's working well except for one thing: I normally press Alt + R to reply to a mail, but on W8 this brings up the run command. Can I somehow delete the shortcut for the run command so it would work only in Outlook, or is there a way to overrule other windows shortcut whilst working in Outlook?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Saluti,
Don

It should work as before. Do you have any software installed that re-maps the shortcut keys e.g. a replacement Start Menu?

Thanks Graham, that's it! I have installed the Classic Shell and found an option to override the shortcuts in the start menu. Now the Alt + R is doing what I want it to do.

Cheers,

Don
