Keyboard Short Cuts

Guest

I wish to create keyboard short cuts for the icons on my desktop. I have
right clicked the icons and in properties tried to add the key in the
shortcut field where it currently says 'None'. However, it won't let me enter
anything in this field. What am I doing wrong?

[[Provides a space for you to type a keyboard shortcut that you press to
start or switch to a program. Shortcut keys automatically include CTRL+ALT.
Press the key you want to add to this combination. For example, to define
the shortcut key combination CTRL+ALT+H, press H. You cannot use ESC, ENTER,
TAB, the SPACEBAR, PRINT SCREEN, DELETE, or BACKSPACE.
No other program can use this key combination. If the shortcut key conflicts
with an access key in a Windows-based program, the access key does not work.
An access key is a letter or number that, when used in combination with the
ALT key, carries out the same command as clicking the command with the
mouse.]]
