Just enter won't do the trick, to get it there permenantely you need to hit apply, before ok and closing that window. Stupid question but you are hitting alt, control and n together, right? Not in sequence. Sorry but just trying to eliminate possible error sources grin chrissy -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of tom behler Sent: Sunday, October 25, 2009 2:08 AM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: notepad saga continued Someone on the list at some point last week said that you should hit enter when creating shortcuts, and that also works. I've tried that too. I hate to keep bugging you all on the list about it, and may try to get some sighted assistance. Will keep you posted.

I just recreated the steps needed and made an icon and it comes up here with control, alt plus n, when I assign this combo. chrissy -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of tom behler Sent: Sunday, October 25, 2009 1:01 AM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: notepad saga continued Chrissy: Did that, but still no joy!

Go to properties and assign the key combo, or else it will not recognize your input. chrissy -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of tom behler Sent: Sunday, October 25, 2009 12:27 AM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: notepad saga continued I tried what you suggested below with notepad, because that's what I want to use for brief text files, and I still end up at "my computer", when I do the alt control N shortcut. In other words, I still end up at "my computer", not notepad.
