Adding windows short cut keys

[kpetursson]

Does anyone know if it is possible to add shortcut keys in windows using the windows key on the keyboard?
Ie. If you hold down the windows key and press 'E' windows explorer starts up. pressing 'F' will open the find files thingy.
I want to add some functionallity to the and be able to press 'O' and have outlook open, or 'I' and have Internet explorer open. And so on...

If anyone know it would be a great help!

I know how you can use 'CTRL + ALT + Whatever Key' to add shortcuts:

1) Create a shortcut to the program and put it somewhere
2) Go into its properties
3) Click in 'Shortcut Key' and press whatever e.g. 'I' for Internet Explorer
4) Test it by pressing, in this case, CTRL + ALT + I

I don't know how you would do this for the Find utility...you'll have to find the file for that but I don't know where its kept. The other examples you've given are easy, and most of the shortcuts are on the Start Bar anyway.

I don't know how you would do it where you use the Windows button and a key, but hope this helps.
