How to Remove Box Search Hot Key

If you are using Box Drive as your cloud storage, then you might have experienced if you enter the shortcut Ctrl + Alt + Shift + B, then it would open the Box Search dialog.


This could conflict with some of your other short cut keys. For me it conflicts with Notepad++ XML Formatter shortcut key which I use a lot. In this tutorial I'll show you how to disable this shortcut key. For this you need to have privileges to edit Registry entries in Windows. 

1. Navigate to Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Box\Box registry entry

2. Create a new DWORD registry key named GlobalHotKeyCharacter and set the value to 0








3. Restart Box Drive

Now your Ctrl + Alt + Shift + B shortcut would not interfere with your other applications. 

Hope this helps.

How to Pair Your Free Wolf M87 Dual Mode Wireless Keyboard

 Your budget keyboard might come in different names like, Free Wolf, Attack Shark, Ziyou Lang etc. If you have lost your user manual ( just like me ) and unable to pair your keyboard with your machine, then here's the help. 



Check if the back of your keyboard looks like the above image. Then these steps should work for you. 

If you are connecting the keyboard using the 2.4 GHz Wireless receiver, then you don't have to worry. It should be plug and play, nothing to worry. 

If you are trying to pair the keyboard to two other devices using Bluetooth, then you should follow these steps. 

1. Flip the switch to BT1 or BT2 position

2. Press FN + ESC 

3. Now depending on BT1 or BT2 you selected, the Scroll Lock (Scr) indicator LED or Battery indicator LED should start blinking rapidly.

4. Now you should be able to discover your keyboard under your Bluetooth devices and pair it with your PC. 


Hope this helps somebody (just like me who wasted few hours without a clue)

Thanks!
