Window + E shortcut redefine

[Steen Christiansen]

I would like to know if it is possible to redefine the shortcut
'Windows + E'. Today it normally opens explorer, but i would like it
to open a different explorer application.

You might like Hotkey Plus. It won't remap Windows' keyboard shortcuts but
you can use it to make your own to do whatever you wish.
http://www.brianapps.net/hotkeyplus/

Using it, if you want explorer to open a particular folder, the command line
would be...

explorer.exe

and the parameters would be...

/e,"put full path to folder here"

A space is required before the "/e,". More info in my dandies, see sig.

Not natively, but there's lots of third-party software that can do
this. Do a Google search on redefine Windows shortcut keys.

Winkey+E is a standard keyboard shortcut that cannot be changed.

You may be interested in a freeware utility called Winkey. This allows the
Windows Key ("WinKey") to be programmed to launch any executable file, or open
any drive or folder. See this page for a download link:

This utility (Winkey) will not work on Vista.
