This tells me that your laptop keyboard might be remapping it's keys. Post me a direct link to a pic(or PDF manual) of your exact laptop model so I can have a look at the keyboard layout. The pic of it's keyboard you post will have to be large enough to distinguish all the keys etc.

Yes.

There are a few workarounds for this. You can put the Mix/Edit Toggle exe, or a shortcut of it, in your Windows Startup folder. This will launch the app all the time the computer is booted. Another solution is to create an app launcher that will run both the PT executable and the Mix/Edit Toggle executable. The launcher can even use the same icon as the PT executable so it appears seamless. The latter is beyond the scope of this thread and put on the Skunk Works Project to-do list thread.

no pics in manual (keyboard is Danish, but the num pad is a perfectly normal one), I'm traveling and can't really come up with more info.
I think I'll bow out here - but I really appreciate your efforts - great Skunk project in general!
