aquatom,
In Windows 7, keyboard shortcuts typically require you to press Ctrl + Alt along with whatever key you assign as a shortcut. However, if a number from the number pad is pressed while creating a keyboard shortcut , it associates that number with a shortcut without needing to press Alt + Ctrl.
It sounds like the window that comes up when you press 0 is a properties window. Look for a field next to Shortcut Key and it has Num 0 in there, you've found your culprit.
Hope this helps!

Hi
Thanks for reply, but this what I get when hitting 0, not on the numeric side but on the character side, and even if I use on-screen key board!
"Missing Shortcut"
"Windows is searching for program. To locate the file yourself, click Browse"
" Browse Cancel "
For some weird reason number 0 is linked to some file somewhere! Is a way to look in the register where shortcuts are stored?
