What does "ATI Hotkey Poller" service do?

[Spitfire_x86]

This service starts up "ati2evxx.exe" at every Windows startup. Why does this service exist?

I don't know exactly, but it's totaly useless to me, once I installed any new Catalyst, I disabled it before restarting computer, it doesn't influence my card's performance anyway.

It's for ATI "key shortcuts" processing. If you assign hotkeys to parameters, ATI needs this "service" to interpret those key input. If you don't use it, you can disable it.
