The shortcut key (ctrl-alt-shift-B on Windows) interferes with an existing application shortcut. How do I remove the box drive shortcut key, or change it to a different key?

    Hi Henry, 

    Welcome to the Box Community, I'm happy to help!

    You can disable the hotkey that Box Drive uses to launch the Box custom Search UI following these steps:

    In a Windows environment

    1. Create a DWORD registry entry called GlobalHotKeyCharacter with a value of 0 under: HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Box/Box
    2. Reboot Box Drive.
