Re: change properties of natural keyboard shortcuts??

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Here is the trick that can make it work :
1. Install WinKey
2. End Winkey if it is running
2. Click Start > Run > Type "regedit" (without quotes) > Click OK
3. Go to key "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Copernic Technologies\WinKey\Shortcuts"
4. Right side, make a new string(REG_SZ) value named "69" (No quotes please)
5. Double click it and set its value to "C:\windows\explorer.exe|/e, D:\||0|" (No
quotes)
Don't change anything now. First test it. If that works then change D:\ to
anything you like.
6. You can now use "WinKey + E" shortcut to open D:\ or anything you like.





i found this on (but this will not work without some corrections i made above
after experimenting):

Thanks, this is a funny little program. You still CAN'T change the
"WinKey + E" properties, but it is funny.

I am sorry, but this is not what I mean.
When I start the Windows Explorer from the Start Menu, I begin in My
Documents, because I have already changed the properties of
Explorer, to start in: %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%

But this DOES NOT change the behaviour of the natural keyboard
shortcut that I mentioned. The keyboard shortcut will STILL open
Windows Explorer, beginning with My Computer, and NOT with My
Documents. That is the whole issue, which I do not know how to
change.

You can change the behavior of Windows Explorer view when it opens
not the Shortcut Key behavior. Read the article below to learn How
To Customize the Windows Explorer Views in Windows XP?

Set the default folder view to My Documents as described in
Article.

Hope this is what you are looking for, let us know!

I know the Windows key + E will open an explorer window showing
the contents of My Computer. Can I change the settings so it will
automatically show at first sight the contents of My Documents?
