Thanks, man. I created and hid the shortcuts in my start folder,
copied them to quick launch and everything works great. But I still
would like to learn more about .lnk files... why the shortcuts have
to reside on the desktop or start menu, etc., etc. Anyone know of
any particularly informative reads about the .lnk files?

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.

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.
