    This is a nice tutorial. Any suggestions on how to restore the Win+X shortcut that brings up mobility center on laptops?

    Hello Jaraco, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    You can create a Windows Mobility Center shortcut from the C:\Windows\System32\mblctr.exe file, then assign your own keyboard shortcut (ex: CTRL+ALT+X) to use to open the shortcut instead though.

    Hope this helps,
    Shawn
