As part of our install script we copy a shortcut .lnk file from the server to the user's pc. This link file is already set up with the appropriate target and more importantly A SHORTCUT KEY combination to launch the link. ie. Ctrl + F9. However for some reason this shortcut key does not work on XP but it worked on 2000 fine. You have to physically go into the shortcut and reassign the Shortcut key then all works fine. The question i have is how can we fix this. Is this something stored in the registry that we can poke to assign the Shortcut key again. If not then we do use AutoIt so maybe we can build something in that to assign the shortcut key on the installation. If you can assist then we would be most grateful. Thanks in advance, Simon hi there
