Thanks for the reply & information. I had looked at Utask (xbutton?) and always thought "windows key" referred to the hard key. Anyway, changing the default to \windows\start menu\programs\tools\start.lnk fixed the homescreen windows softkey (or whatever it's called).
Now I need to decide if I should go back to the CHT softkeys with color applied, which is a nice design.
