http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/tips/october/ong1.asp The above page describes how to create a shortcut key. (Example: Ctrl+Shift+E for calling Eudora.) In the instructions it says to put the shortcut on the desktop, but doesn't say it must be placed there. I just got a new computer with XP Pro. I plan to make a bunch of shortcut keys for various programs, folders, documents and URLs, but don't want them cluttering my desktop. Is there a workaround?
