Find the desktop or start menu shortcut, right-click on it and chose "Properties" at the popup menu. The properties dialog appears. Clear the field "keyboard shortcut".

Althogh I've always been using this keyboard shortcut, I also agree it's confusing for everyone who doesn't know about this. So I think it would be better to not assign this system wide keyboard shortcut by default.

I'm running 4.3pr318. With JEdit NOT running, I enter <Alt><Ctrl>J and JEdit starts. This is very bad. You are reading keyboard input when not even
running. If I'm running a different program that uses that shortcut \(like Eclipse\) and it has the focus, it doesn't get the keystroke. I think it is entirely 
unacceptable consume keyboard or mouse events when the program isn't running. I consider this a very severe bug since it effectively breaks other programs.

Is there a way to turn this behavior off? I looked around but I couldn't find any.
