Quickly Print Using a Keyboard Shortcut

Since I have been a long time advocate of keyboard shortcuts (as some of my friends well know), I liked seeing the 'Quick Tips' in the November 2008 issue [Quickly Print Using a Keyboard Shortcut] of Microsoft Accessibility Update Newsletter. The use of control-p [CTRL+P] is almost a universal standard for printing which is why I was surprised that Microsoft's Media Player uses it as the PAUSE keyboard shortcut. I assume they thought that it would not interfere since who would want to print the audio. But this has come back to 'bite them' for in Windows Vista I have discovered that occassionaly the PRINT DIALOG box comes up on my screen when I am using it to pause Windows Media Player.
