Assigning hotkeys for Vista

[Jan Ilacqua [MVP]]

Hi! I would like to assign some hotkeys for various functions in the Vista
RTM. But, I am not sure where this is done, other than perhaps some
assignments in the EOA.

Where/how might I be able to assign some various hot keys in the Vista?

If you mean "shortcut keys" it is done the same way as in WinXP. Go to the
shortcut's properties and you can make an assignment there.

Hi Richard

Thank you for your time and help, but, perhaps I have misstated what I need.
I want to reassign a keyboard key, such as F9 as an example, to do a
different function than its original function. How would I do that? Or is
it possible?

I don't know of a built in way to do this but many keyboards come with
software that will do this. e.g IntelliType, iTouch etc..

Hi Kerry

Thank you very much. I'll see if there is one my keyboard.

I thought you had to be xtra nerdy and geeky to be an MVP. Oh wait,
that's not an MSMVP.

Never mind..

Almost every Microsoft product has MVPs for that product. Not all of them
are "nerdy" products.

the MS programmers. ;o))
