I can also try to build one for you without that shortcut but I sure don't want to get into the habit of doing that. If I build it you'd have to have OS X 10.5 at the least since I don't have the 10.4uSDK on my system.

Howdy,
I just was able to change the shortcut to Shift-Opt-Cmd-I using System Preferences->Keyboard->Keyboard Shortcuts->Application Shortcuts (in OS X 10.6 --- don't remember where it is in 10.5 and I think it was available in 10.4) which should then allow you to assign Opt-Cmd-I back to what you wish.
Good Luck,
Herb Schulz
