Control C doesn't work in Command Prompt

See post for more info

April 8, 2009 12:04:33 PM from Stardock ForumsStardock Forums

I am using Keyboard Launchpad 1.60.010 and this particular shortcut is one I have used for years with no problems but now it doesn't work right.  I have it set up so Windows C opens a command prompt using C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe as the Link.

It opens the DOS window but if I have a ping 172.0.0.1 -t going, I can't interrupt it with a Control C.  If I open the DOS window by hitting Windows R and then typing cmd in the run window, it opens a DOS window and when I run the same ping, I am able to interrupt it with Control C. 

I don't know why this works from the Windows run command box but not from KLP as I am using the same cmd.exe for both.  Any ideas?

Something to do with user permission?

If it were a permissions issue you wouldn't be able to launch the command window in the first place.  Tried the same setup here with no issue.  Not sure what would cause this, other than another shortcut that overlaps this, or some other keyboard software.  Launching something from KLP is really no different than a shortcut.  I would say make sure you don't have any arguments set in the shortcut config and try the same setup with a desktop shortcut and see if the same issue happens.

Unfortunately, I'm not sure at all what is causing this.  Best recommendation is to check in KLP and make sure no shortcut is set to CTRL+C, as well as make sure no other software is using this shortcut.
