Removing old shortcutkeys and reusing

[Guest]

Is there anyway to remove old shortcut keys used on Startmenu and Desktop
shortcuts and reassign them to new programs? -without involving a reformat.

I would have supposed MS could make this easier, why do they lock custom
shortcut keys to the first program they bind to. Is there a way to rebind the
custom Ctrl+Shift+Alt+___ shortcut?

Thank you.

Are the shortcuts that the key combos are bound to, still in existence in your Start
Menu or on the Desktop?

See if this free utility will help you sort it out:

No unfortunately they were deleted as the programs were removed. I'll try the
software you listed.

Thanks

Create a VBScript file (a file with .vbs extension):

Set ws=CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Set fs=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
tp=ws.SpecialFolders("StartMenu")+"\"+fs.GetTempName+".lnk"
Set sc=ws.CreateShortcut(tp)
sc.Hotkey="Ctrl+Alt+Shift+V" ' <---- change this to the shortcut
sc.Save
Set sc=ws.CreateShortcut(tP)
sc.Hotkey="":sc.Save
fs.DeleteFile(tp)


Then run it by double clicking in explorer.



Good Luck, Ayush.

another app.
