| Intel "extreme" grahics hot key interceptor. If you never use the Intel hotkeys, you can save the overhead via Control Panel/Intel Extreme Graphics/Hot Keys and turn them off.

| Something that monitors the keybd so that when you push a key u can program it todo stuff
| mr man
|
| 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
| santosh rao
|
| I could not use my NT system, It pigged 98% of the cpu !

| 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.

| Even If I disable Hot Keys, it still loads at startup. Nothing seems to go wrong if I "end task" it.

|
| After XP sp2 update it created serious issues with the system, making it unuseable. To fix open run: type msconfig and disable it on startup. Everthing returned to normal after this was removed.

| 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.

| 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.

| I rely on keyboard, not mouse, and thus use Windows hot keys (ctrl+alt+_) ALOT! hkcmd.exe greatly interferes with this functionality.
