First, to close a window in Windows you use Alt-F4, not Ctrl-F4.

Second, not sure how you got a vk of 11 for F4.  The VK for F4 is 115.

Lastly, there is already a command in the default MCEControl.commands, "close":

<SendInput Cmd="close" vk="115" Shift="false" Ctrl="false" Alt="true" />

You should be able to just send

close

to MCE Controller to have it close the current foreground window.

Charlie,
Thank You, using close was the ticket its now working 100%. And from your example of text, if I needed to send combinations, I could do it as long as I know "VK" assignment.

Thanks Again,

Michael G.
