    Asking end users to modify their registry for a shortcut they did not request is rediculous.  It doesnt matter that a "handy" reg script is included, the fact that this feature was added without consent is the real issue.

      for those, like yourself, that don't want to edit their registry, there's no need to do this.

      This user doesn't want to edit the registry. I think his user doesn't appreciate Adobe forcing this shortcut, and doesn't approve of Adobe's 'solution'. *cough* workaround *cough*

       

      Come up with a workaround, then call it a solution. Adobe's delusional interpretation of 'solution'.  It's not! A solution is reprogramning so the shortcut either never appears in the first place, or a checkbox in settings to disasble it. Not going into the freaking registry lol. I mean.. Yuck.

       

      The need to remove as much of the unwanted noise Adobe's been forcing upon us instead of improving the core, is real and valid. Adobe's digusting obsession with becoming the sole destination for everything involved in whatever possible creative processes is arrogant, ignorant (it will never work) and authoritarian.
