Remove Global Hotkey?

Just trying to figure out how to remove a global hotkey. When debugging I have f12 mapped to perform an operation in a different program, but VS2005 wants to recognize this as a break command. I have tried going to options > environment > keyboard and removing the hotkey for f12 then restarting VS, but the hotkey still is in effect.

Is their another way to remove VS from using global hotkeys if I don't wish it to

    If a debugger is present forthe current process F12 will break an activate it. This is not a hotkey of the IDE, it is a internal hotkey.

    You can change the key as described here:

    I am logged in with administrator levels, and have re-booted also.

    Where you running as an administrator or power user when you did that

    I find that some configuration changes don't take unless I log out, raise my account to administrator, log back in, make the change, lower my settings back to least-privilege, and then reboot.

    No, and that's what puzzles me most.  When I go back to the field it no longer lists f12 as being the hotkey.  Yet, when I hit f12 it still causes the break.  I'm working around it at the moment, but it's perplexing.

    You seem to be doing this right and no reboot should be required. Does the shortcut remain listed in the keyboard options dialog
