Shortcut Keys(list of ones that in use?)

[Guest]

I have some shortcut Keys set up on my shortcuts on my
desktop. How do I see a list of these shortcuts that I
currently have assigned?

My problem is that the <Ctrl+Alt+L> and <Ctrl+Alt+I> will
not work when I assign them as "shortcut keys" to any of
my desktop icons. (at this time, these are the only two
that i know of that do not work.) So, I'm thinking that
I've already got them assigned to some other shortcut.
I've already checked all of my desktop icons, and I
haven't used the above "shortcut keys" there). Is there
some way that I can view a list of my shortcut keys that
are currently in use. Or does XP just plain old not let
me use those 2 shortcut keys? Any help would be greatly
appreciated. Thank you..Doreen

Hi

Open Help and Support, then search 'keyboard shortcuts' - without the
quotes.

Create a text file and paste lines in

on error resume next
set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set Ag=Wscript.Arguments
set lnk = WshShell.CreateShortcut(A)
If lnk.hotkey <> "" then
msgbox A & vbcrlf & lnk.hotkey
End If

Rename it to findhotkey.vbs

Explorer looks in 4 places for hotkeys, these are read on startup. The hotkey is stored in the shortcut. Only hotkeys on shortcuts in the four locations are live.

Type in a command prompt

cd %UserProfile%\desktop
for %A in (*.lnk) do findhotkey.vbs "%1"
for %A in (*.pif) do findhotkey.vbs "%1"
for %A in (*.url) do findhotkey.vbs "%1"
cd %AllUsersProfile%\desktop
for %A in (*.lnk) do findhotkey.vbs "%1"
for %A in (*.pif) do findhotkey.vbs "%1"
for %A in (*.url) do findhotkey.vbs "%1"
cd %UserProfile%\Start Menu
for /r %A in (*.lnk) do findhotkey.vbs "%1"
for /r %A in (*.pif) do findhotkey.vbs "%1"
for /r %A in (*.url) do findhotkey.vbs "%1"
cd %AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu
for /r %A in (*.lnk) do findhotkey.vbs "%1"
for /r %A in (*.pif) do findhotkey.vbs "%1"
for /r %A in (*.url) do findhotkey.vbs "%1"

Each shortcut, that has a hotkey, will pop up a dialog with the name of the shortcut and it's hotkey.

You may have path problems. To make it work put in c:\ and change

for %A in (*.url) do c:\findhotkey.vbs "%1"

as all these directory changes may make it difficult for the script to be found (but shorten the amount of typing for the start menu FORs).
