The combination Ctrl-F4 doesn't work in Windows at all. What can be checked
or corrected to get it working? I just installed XP Pro from scratch,
partition was clean.

Hi Just D,

Are you sure you aren't thinking of Alt-F4? That is hte key combination
that closes windows and applications.

Ctrl-F4 usually closes the current document in a multidocument environment,
for example in Visual Studio. I used to use it for years.

Yes, you're too smart, but do you really know the difference between
minimize and close?-) And between close the whole application or one
document from this application if you have opened many?

I've got the same problem.

On one of my PC's it seems the CTRL-F4 combination is filtered out before any application can process it.

Child windows in a multi-document window do not close. Tabs in IE/FF/Chrome do not close. I cant assign CTRL-F4 to keyboard/mouse button macro programs (ALT-F4 can be assigned to keyboard macros/mouse buttons)

I can't tell if the keypress is being suppressed by windows or not even getting to windows
