 santosh rao | it can be disbabled from the graphic properties of the intel driver. it will probably be present in the registry, so can be removed from there also. This exe uses a big chunk of the cpu, which is not very healty |
 IMMORTAL MILITANT | Had a problem, accidently deleted key in the registry trying to remove adware, had to repair windows XP from startup disk, when repairing the installation a window poped up telling me that this file 'hkcmd.exe' was needed and to locate the file, I pressed cancel and continued with repair of installation. Sounds like it is not needed anyway according to all the other posts. |
| Mike Ellis | You scare mongers should do your research before posting bogus information here... It's a legitimate command process - Intel Hot Keys Command Module. Monitors the keyboard for the key-presses you specified in the program. |

| Dan | My company installed a bunch of crap on my computer and said they were going to start tracking everyone. That's when this thing appeared. Not sure what it does, but seems to be some sort of tracking device. |
| A | Caused a DC upgraded from Windows 2000 SP4 to Windows Server 2003 Standard to blue screen! Restarted in safe mode, disabled all commands in HKLM\...\Run, then manually run one by one to determine problem. |
| kira13 | On my old VAIO laptop, this was necessary to use the fn key combinations, which did hardware-specific things like mute the volume, switch from the laptop to an external monitor, and change the screen brightness. If you're using whatever keys it makes work, you'll need to keep it. If you're not, you can disable it. |
| UniDyne | Seems to be two of these. One is the Intel HotKey process. It may be disabled. May cause problems under XP SP2 and will crash when logging over RDP. The other appears to be spyware that masquerades as the Intel process. |
 Giselley19 | It has ability to access PC and change settings. I had three different versions, none of which I installed. Opens ports and accesses PC illegally. Experienced Programmer needed to fully decipher its functions. Scary! |
| Me | attempts legal tcp connection to internet. When refused denies web traffic through zonealarm firewall to convince user to disable firewall. Now why would a key listener be so desperate to communicate with the internet? |
| ray | I found three hkcmd files in three different folders: C:\i386 C:\WINDOWS\system32 C:\drivers\video\onboard I tried deleting the file in the C:\WINDOWS folder. My computer would not allow the deletion. Which file is the bad one or are all three worthly of deletion??? |

 Xavier | It's done nothing on my computer, but I am a pretty big nerd, so I'll look at for it. Also, don't download anything if you have this, unless using Mozilla. It screws up my IE downloads for some reason. |
 Jon | One more comment about hkcmd, on my tablet PC I recently began getting a 'Data Execution Prevention' block on a 'Generic Host Process for win32' after much trial and error thanks to Security Task Manager, I isolated this file as the culprit. Just one more of the apparently many conflicts people have with the shortcut application |
| Mike | Hot Key Command - used by Intel Graphics driver to switch between portrait and landscape mode on monitors that swivel like the DELL 1905FP. Very Handy for people who rotate their monitor all the time, like me. |
| gujubhai | Tries to connect to http port on a microsoft site, talk of intel software trying to link to a microsoft site !!! if ur firewall has caught it and is asking for allow/deny option, safely say deny. i do not want either intel or m$ to know anything about me or my comp. |

| bitten_not_again75 | aparently linked to yahoo search bar also google bars in fact any pc/laptop that has a search bar malicious code can be ran through it not to mention the colation of information havn't removed it yet cos this ain't my pc and i don't have this problem but im sure if its disabled in the registry it will stop it from working |
| White Hat | This program's natural settings is harmless but as the addage goes you can save any program to any name. Some Malware writers will create a program that will add to the existing program causing it to do whatever they want it to. |
| Christopher Parr | I think that Intel should have named it something much better. Me being a MySpace user, thought that is stands for hack commented?[hkcmd] or something that had to do with hacking. but delete remove it by terminating the process tree, because your PC will run much, much smoother. |
| The-Bleh-Bleh | Well, all I know is when I try to disable it in msconfig, at startup i get an error saying windows just recovered from critical error. Which is annoying, so i just leave it alone, though it takes 4 mbs of ram... disabling through control panel wont work. |
| The-Bleh-Bleh | Sorry for triple post, didn't mean to press enter XD. Alright so heres how to disable it. Go to your driver options and uncheck enable hotkeys. Then go to msconfig and uncheck hkcmd on the startup tab. Now restart and its gone. worked for me =) |
| HackThis! | I challenged a hacker community to hack my pc, and Sygate firewall almost immediately reported application hijacking, and yes it was the infamous hkcmd.exe trying yo establish a connection with another computer. Id delete it if I were you, my pc works just fine without it. |
| Jacob Evans | You know all about so here is how to delete it from your System Registry: Right-Click desktop/"Properties"/"Settings" tab/"Advanced"/"Intel(R) Graphics Media Accelerator Driver for Mobile" Tab/"Graphics Properties"/"Hot Keys" Tab/Uncheck "Enable Hot Keys" |
