This article was previously published under Q134552 SYMPTOMS You are unable to run a shortcut by pressing its shortcut
key. CAUSE Shortcut keys work only for shortcuts on the desktop or in
the Start menu hierarchy. RESOLUTION Make sure that the shortcuts for which you want to use
shortcut keys are on the desktop, on the Start menu, or in the Windows\Start
Menu\Programs folder. MORE INFORMATION Shortcut keys work differently depending on the location of
the shortcut. If the shortcut is on the desktop or in the Start menu hierarchy,
you can use its shortcut key to start the assigned program, or switch to the
program if it is already running.
If the shortcut is not on the
desktop or in the Start menu hierarchy, you cannot use its shortcut key to
start the assigned program, but you can use its shortcut key to switch to the
assigned program if it is already running.
NOTE: Shortcut keys may not work for some programs. For example,
shortcut keys do not work for items on the Quick Launch bar.
