How can I determine which explorer shortcut (.lnk) is launched by a particular hotkey in windows?

0

I know explorer.exe is capturing my shortcut key (Ctrl-Alt-P) through the use of assigning that combination in a shortcut properties, but I have lost the shortcut itself.

In the past I created the shortcut with the hotkey like this: Create a shortcut to a directory. Right click it and, go to properties. On the "Shortcut" tab of the property pane, assign a "Shortcut key" in that field. I typed a "p" which created CTRL-ALT-P as the shortcut key to open that link.

How may I now find the location of the shortcut (.lnk) file which I had previously created?

I was hoping I would have named it properly, but searching for the name of the directory it opens has turned up no shortcuts for that directory.

I do fully understand and acknowledge that I have shot myself in the foot by not naming it appropriately, as I now want to re-use this hotkey.

Thanks for any insight.
