Tom,

Are you doing system restores that might bring back icons created 
before you assigned the shortcut keys?  When you recreate the 
sequence, is the entry in the dialog blank?  I can't think of any 
other reason why the key assignments would disappear, unless you've 
got something on your system that plays around with hot key 
assignments, and I've never heard of that happening.

By the way, for the on-topic police, the hotkey that disappears is 
for EchoLink, right?
