MFC-SDI application with Visual Studio 2010: New keyboard shortcut not working-Collection of common programming errors

I have a hunch you’re experiencing a problem I’ve also come across – when you create an SDI application using the latest version of MFC, by default the application loads the accelerator table from the registry at runtime therefore overwriting anything that you’ve specified in the resource table. I posted a solution in a previous thread here which I think is the same as what you’re seeing. Hope that helps.
