First, *great* tool!

I have an issue, and a question.  I've checked the FAQ without success,
so I am turning to the professionals.

ACTIVATION
I am having difficulty activating DQSD using the keyboard combination. I
am running XP, and have the taskbar set to "auto-hide".  When I hit the
keyboard combination, the window that I am currently working in loses
focus, but nothing else happens.  XP's taskbar does not pop up, and the
Search Window is not activated.  (I've hit the shortcut, then brought up
the XP taskbar to verify)

If I have the taskbar already UP (either hitting the bottom of the
screen with my mouse, hitting <ctl><esc>, or hitting the <win> key by
itself), *then* hit the combination, it works fine. =20

However, since the above keys ALSO bring up the 'start' menu, I have to
either hit <esc> or hit the keyboard combination a couple times for DQSD
to get the focus.  Any help would be appreciated.  Having to hit several
keyboard combinations significantly reduces the usability of a great
tool.

 I currently have=20

	hotkeyModifiers=3D"WIN";

AUTO COMPLETE
While this feature auto-completes some things, it does not auto-complete
directory names.  Even if I have entered the drive:directory name in the
past, it still will not auto-complete.  Windows Explorer will allow you
to type a couple characters and try to complete it for you, as will the
Start/Run command.  It will even list the last couple directories you've
used in the past.  This would be *very* helpful as I bounce around my
drive a lot.  Is there something I need to do to activate this, or is it
planned for the future?


Thanks in advance,
Pete
