    Setting Hotkey for an Application

    Hi, is it possible to set a hotkey for an application by doing some registry changes in Win XP or Vista??
    For example if i press Ctrl+Shift+E i want MS Excel to open..something like that.

      Find the shortcut to your application in your startmenu and right click on it. If it's not in your start menu do a "copy / paste shortcut" of the program executable to create a shortcut. Right click on your new shortcut.

      Select properties and then click or tab into the Shortcut Key: field. Press the key that you want to use for the shortcut and then click apply.

      Thats all there is to it.

          Yeah..that works.I didnt know it.Thanks.
          One more thing - Is there any registry keys/values associated with this hot key setting? I would like to know it because i would like to set an hot key automatically to my own exe/application via coding
