I found a Registry hack once that would only allow a single instance of
Calculator. Pressing the Calculator button on my keyboard would activate the
Calculator window but not start a new instance. But, I've forgotten how to
do it, and a web/Google search didn't help me find it.

Can anyone help? Thanks!

I found the following script which can be the target of the Calculator
shortcut but it's got an error in it and I'm not very good with VBS:

If WindowsFound(Window(Executable:"Calc.exe" Class:"SciCalc"
Title:"Calculator")) Then
SwitchToWindow(Window(Executable:"Calc.exe" Class:"SciCalc"
Title:"Calculator"))
Else
Run(File:"C:\WINDOWS\system32\Calc.exe" StartIn:"C:\WINDOWS\system32\")
End If

You must have started it from a shortcut perhaps. ....

Yes, that's where I found it and missed the part about the Hotkey Master
program. It wasn't what I had before because I never use stuff that isn't
freeware.

I still can't remember whether the modification was a Registry hack or a
script.

It calling unknown commands in VBS. There must be more to it. WindowsFound
and SwitchToWindow I don't recognise. You probably need this program, which
is where your script
(http://s10.invisionfree.com/Hotkey_Master/index.php?showtopic=21&view=getlastpost)
came from.

set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
If WSHShell.AppActivate("Calculator")=False then
WshShell.Run "C:\windows\System32\calc.exe", 1, false
End If
