Yea.. but aero glass 8.1 isn't free... and hooks quite deep into your system...

As I said, it doesn't sound like classic shell the behavior you describe on the desktop is the same as if you were just pressing the letters.
This means its either a software issue (try the remapper I linked) Or hardware (try a new keyboard) |

glad it works out. if you want to change the size, edit the .ini file in the zip and change the "H=90" to whatever
To remove the top start button, you can set the start button size to 1 in classic shells settings (or if you don't want that single pixel, create a custom 'clear' start button) |
