Why not just set a hot key for notepad and open it any where any time you like? This is a good idea one reason why I do not do these kinds of things though for computer I sell is because the user gets so dependent on these hot keys that they have no idea how to start the program with out them. My girl is a perfect example of this. When I first met her she was trying to use a computer one day that did not have these hot keys. She called me up and told me that word would not start. "I keep hitting control alt w and nothing happens". No one told her that this was not the normal way to start word. To this day because she got started using the hot keys this is still the way she is most comfortable. -- To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
