SUMMARY
The Microsoft Project for Windows “Expand All” key combination, ALT+SHIFT+, does not work on an HP Vectra machine. This is because on this particular keyboard, SHIFT+ is assigned to the Print Screen function. The machine BIOS never allows an application “see” this keyboard event.
STATUS
This is a hardware limitation of HP Vectra machines.
