I would like to know how to create hotkeys in Windows without pasting the shortcut onto my desktop. Current if I create a shortcut it looks only in the desktop. But I dont want to put my icon on the desktop. I know of third party software like WinKey but I want to know if this is possible without using any external software.
Where in the root? Is it in C drive. IF so I created C:/shortcuts and put it there but it did not work – Sab – 2012-08-17T06:15:46.493
@Sab: Where you desktop folder is depends on what version of Windows you're using. Try searching your C: drive for a folder named "desktop". One of them will be yours -- the one which is a subfolder of your username. – martineau – 2012-08-17T11:56:54.613
@Sab i just did it on Windows 7 and it works fine, create C:\Shortcuts then paste all your shortcuts in there and right click on then and select properties, and set the hotkeys. – Taylor Gibb – 2012-08-17T12:24:33.353
Strange. I did precisely the same thing and it doesnt work. Do you have the same shortcut on your Desktop by any chance? – Sab – 2012-08-17T15:22:12.850
nope, i actually cut and pasted the shortcut from my desktop, you can try that. – Taylor Gibb – 2012-08-18T15:18:28.870
