Setting up Hot Keys

Setting up a hot key for a specific program

1. Right click on the shortcut to the program (either on the Desktop or from Start > Programs)
2. Select Properties
3. Under the Shortcut tab, there will be a field for Shortcut Key
4. With the cursor in the Shortcut key box, select the keyboard key you want to use in combination with CTRL+ALT. Shortcut keys automatically start with CTRL+ALT. The Shortcut key box will display None until you select the key and then the box will display Ctrl+Alt+the key you selected. You cannot use the ESC, ENTER, TAB, SPACEBAR, PRINT SCREEN, SHIFT, or BACKSPACE keys.

Once you assign a shortcut key combination for a specific program, you will not be able to use that key combination with other programs.
