The "OK" button should have the effect of storing the shortcut details anyway, however as software like Windows has many multiple subroutines that are linked to controls it could be that you may get a better result o using the apply button beforehand.

Don't you have to tab to 'apply' before doing an OK? Strangely, when I have applied shortcuts as you describe, I often find they do not work on rebooting although when you open the properties on the shortcut the hotkey is still there. Re-applying it seems to do the trick. Very strange.
