Gary,
That method works fine.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Subject: Re: Creating Icon for RE: Hotkeys
Actually, you should be able to use the program's title in the Start Menu to
create a hot key as well. I just tested this in Windows XP by creating a
hot key for iTunes. After locating iTunes in its subMenu, I used the
Applications Key to bring up a context menu with Properties as one of the
choices. Shift+F10 will also work to bring up the context menu. In the
Properties dialog, I pressed Control+Tab to get to the Shortcut page where I
typed i into the Shortcut field, tabbed to the Run combo Box to select run
maximized and then pressed Enter. Control and Alt were added to the
shortcut key by Windows automatically.
