Thanks Ben, I know you are a busy man.
(i fixed the menu shortcut issue, it was because the parent menu also has
the shortcut if no children are added, just needed to remove the shortcut
from the parent if it makes child menus, QT didn't mind but to be fair it
was lazy of me not to do it anyway)

The feature is already becoming useful for me.

I just added clipboard options to it, now I have added a script to select
something like...
*Settings["MycheckValue"] = cbxMyValue.Value*
and spin it around and copy it to the clipboard so i can pop up to
Form_Open and paste...

*cbxMyValue.Value = Settings["MycheckValue"]*

(been wanting something like that for a while, every time i'm writing my
options code)

Aah the possibilities are endless :)

Respects
