I've just started to configure LaunchBar Commander.  I've created seven nodes in addition to the three it came with (Control Panel, My Documents, and Start Menu).  For most of the seven, I've set hot keys using CTL + Win + a letter.  I did this as well for the Control Panel node.  All the hot keys work fine, but as soon as I use the Control Panel hot key, from then on all the other hotkeys open a menu that show the applications in the node PLUS all the parts of Control Panel.  Thus, normally CTL + Win + M will open the Microsoft Office Node, showing Access, Excel, PowerPoint, and Word.  But if I've opened Control Panel (using CTL + Win + C), the next time I hit CTL + Win + M to open MS Office, I'll get a menu that shows the four office apps followed by Accessibility Options, Add Hardware, Add or Remove Programs, etc. etc.  This was true under version 1.83.01 and is still true under 1.85.01.  (If need be, I can post a screen shot, but I suspect this is clear without one.)

Since no one has replied, I think I may not have been as clear as I had hoped.  Perhaps two screenshots will help clarify the problem.  I set hotkeys for the various node categories on my launchbar.  For example, CTL+Win+M will open the node showing my MS Office apps.  It normally looks like this:



I've also set a hotkey (CTL+Win+C) for the node for Control Panel apps (that node came with my copy of LaunchBar Commander).  However, if I use this hotkey to open the list of Control Panel apps, the next time I use any other hotkey, the Control Panel apps listing will be attached at the end.  For example, the next time I try to bring up my MS Office apps, the listing looks like this:



(I hope the images will show up--they don't in my preview screen  Sad .  Also, I've cropped the second image to make it small enough to show up full size.  The actual listing includes all the Control Panel apps, not just those starting with A.)

This happens with all the hot key listings: once I've used the Control Panel hotkey, all others will include all the Control Panel apps.  The only way I'm able to correct this is to shut down LaunchBar Commander and then restart it.

Thanks very much, mouser.  I love LaunchBar, even with this bug.  Thmbsup

I am delighted to report that mouser has fixed the glitch I wrote about at the start of this thread.  He has posted the new version of LaunchBar (1.86.01) on the LaunchBar page.  Thanks again, mouser, for this wonderful program!  greenclp
