Re: Create .lnk file for quick launch shortcut?

Ayush,

You can assign shortcut to any shortcut but that shortcut will not work
if the shortcut file is not on Desktop or Start Menu.

These two shortcut keys work and the shortcuts are not on the Desktop or
Start Menu.

Key: Ctrl + Alt + X
Shortcut Location: C:\Documents and Settings\Wesley P.Vogel\My
Documents\UTILITIES\ClearClipboard.exe.lnk
Target: C:\Documents and Settings\Wesley P. Vogel\My Documents\My Download
Files\ClearClipboard.exe

Key: Ctrl + Alt + R
Shortcut Location: C:\Documents and Settings\Wesley P. Vogel\My
Documents\UTILITIES\regedit.exe.lnk
Target: C:\WINDOWS\regedit.exe

You can assign shortcut to any shortcut but that shortcut will not work
if the shortcut file is not on Desktop or Start Menu. So if you want to
use the keyboard method, put the shortcuts on Desktop or in Start menu.

Replid to [randolindso]s message :

I've just figured out that I only get the error box about windows not
finding the desktop.lnk file if the original shortcut was created on
the desktop. If it was created within the quick launch folder the
keyboard command does absolutely nothing.

I created desktop shortcuts for shutdown, restart, logoff, and lock
workstation on my pc (xp home, ie7) and then in properties for each
shortcut added keyboard commands to use them that way if so desired.
Everything worked great. Then I decided to add the shortcuts to
quick launch. I then deleted the files from my desktop. The quick
launch shortcuts still worked beautifully when left-clicked on but
the keyboard commands quit working. I got an error box saying
"Cannot find the C:\Documents and
Settings\Randy\Desktop\shutdown.exe.lnk file." I then tried
creating the new shortcuts in C:\Documents and
Settings\Randy\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick
Launch thinking the appropriate .lnk files would be created but the
keyboard commands still tried to point to a desktop .lnk file. I'm
just not sure how to create the correct .lnk file for each shortcut
(if it can be done) but I'm sure someone out there probably has a
solution or work-around for this problem. Thanks in advance.
