Help Re: KEYBOARD SHORTCUT

[F. Lawrence Kulchar]

Please help me create a keyboard shortcut for the .VBS file that I created
using NOTEPAD.

I have the shortcut on my desktop; the file, when I input the shortcut, such
as
Alt+Shift+Z, is supposed to "sign" my name whenever I type the shortcut.

The problem is I cannot create the shortcut -- I right click on the desktop
icon, select properties, then scroll through the window to the shortcut key
line where the word "none" is written; if I click on it, "none" disappears
and " + + " appears.

IT SEEMS I AM UNABLE TO CREATE A SHORTCUT.

CAN ANYONE HELP ME??

You must use "Ctrl+Alt+ letter"

 

[Bob I]

Does this happen for all shortcuts? Are you using some "enhancer" software?

 

[Bob I]

With the "cursor" after "None" Press the Ctrl key.

I did as you said...after "none", I pressed the Ctrl key, and I get:

" + + ", with the cursor still stuck in the 5th position....I believe the "
+ + "
is the forebearer of:

"Ctrl+Alt+ "....but nonetheless, I cannot get the cursor out of the 5th
position --- it is frozen there!

Thanks,

FLKulchar

The CTRL + ALT gets added automatically. Just position the cursor in
the "Shortcut Key" box and press the *single* character that you want to
use. There are limitations on what characters you can use. For more
info, position the cursor in the "Shortcut Key" box and press F1.

Did you try pressing Ctrl + Alt+ Z anyway? Maybe it will work though
the keys don't show.

As others said, did you press "Z"?

If it's already been said, why did you feel the need to jump in with
your totally useless "ditto"??

Do any of the shortcuts listed here work?

Also are you using some special keyboard driver, or keyboard?

Aha...I see Murphy is active in this newsgroup as well.

Some background: I am the real Leonard Grey. The rude post copied below
was not created by me. It was created by a disturbed individual named
Murphy.

Murphy is a very angry person, and he is apparently suffering side
effects from taking Rimonabant (brand name: Zimultri, produced by
Sanofi-Adventis.) . Rimonabant is an anti-obesity drug that has been
documented by the United States FDA to cause severe depression.

Murphy's game is to try to impersonate people in these newsgroups, and
then make rude and even revolting posts in their names. He's done it to
nass, he's done it to me, and to others. Unfortunately, there's nothing
anyone can do about it, AFAIK.

It's not hard to tell the difference between posts made me - the real
me - and Murphy's impersonation.

I do not normally post to this newsgroup, and I won't post to this
thread again, so any other posts in this thread that have my name on
them are coming from Murphy.

To the OP: I'm sorry this mess has gotten in the way of your getting the
answer you need.

Then perhaps System Restore to the period when it was working correctly,
something has obviously broken it. But I guess "where" will remain a
mystery.
