Shortcut Key (Ctrl - Alt - )

[qvo]

Hi,

Win98 - IE6

I create a "Shortcut key" for an IE "Favorite" item. The key works perfectly ok as long as I am in the same session; but if I restart the computer, the key is no longer effective; i.e. I HAVE to delete it and set it again!

Is that normal for win/ie? or any suggestions on how to set a permanent "Shortcut key" for a "Favorite" item WITHOUT placing a shortcut on the desktop?

Thanks.

I just made a shortcut to Google in the Links folder and in Properties assigned the shortcut of Ctrl + Alt + G.

QVO, I just duplicated your problem, I assigned Ctrl+F12 to one of my internet favorites, reboot and the shortcut key does not work, it is still assigned but does not work. One thing I just thought of is maybe try moving the Favorites shortcut into a different fold in the start menu, like Programs or something. I will try this myself and see what happens.

Success, copying the shortcut into the Accessories fold and re-assigned the shrotcut, rebooted and the shortcut now works fine. I am thinking it has something to do with the way the favorites folder is displayed on the start menu or something like that. So I guess make a new folder in the start menu and copy any shortcuts there that you want to have a shortcut key combo. Good luck =]
