Keyboard shortcut to activate a program
In Windows 2000, how can you make it such that typing a given shortcut (e.g. ctl-alt-1) will run a certain program? Or if that is not possible, to send a message to a program already open in the background?

Too lazy to go to the Windows forum, huh Solar ?
Just curious, but what happened to your posts?

I try not to leave GD too often . If I posted in another forum I'd probably forget about it...
As for my posts, there is a post-count-update sorta script thing that is supposed to be run every so often, but it wasn't run for a long time. Several hundred of the posts that "counted" no longer count, and were removed from the total when the script ran.
Thanks Ejaz, I'll take a look .

Create a shortcut, open the shortcut properties, click in the shortcut key entry, key in your shortcut, close the properties. Or am I missing something here?

Ah yes, that's exactly what I needed. The strange thing is that that doesn't work! Oh man, what a mess .
[edit]On second thought, it works now, with a little help from these folks.[/edit]

It's too late, but maybe if you had have done a search you could have got an answer.
these moderator folks, think they own the place!

I'll have you know that I do, thank you very much! (That is, own the place, not think I own it)
Anyway, I looked for answers and it did not occur to me to call it a hotkey for a long time . I must have blanked out .
