Hi,

I define shortcut keys for many applications. How do I display those that
are already defined?

Thanks,
Gary

By "Shortcut keys" do you mean the ones you specify in the
Properties dialog for a shortcut or Start menu item? If so, this
free program will list them for you:

That is exactly what I need.

BTW, how are these stored in the registry? A search of the application
name yields nothing obvious so it is some obscure indirection?

Thanks,

AFAIK they're not stored in the registry. Rather, Windows knows to
look in the Start Menu. (If shortcut keys in desktop shortcuts are
also honored, it looks there; but I can't remember.) Note that it's
not just the current user's directories but the All Users
directories that Windows checks.

Sorry for the delay in replying -- I got bogged down and new
messages were frighteningly numerous. :-) I'm e-mailing a copy of
my posted article.
