Hi Peter,

Thanks for the response. I am using XP Home and I do find that it brings up
various options on the open window. Some even include properties of the open
window. However I'm looking for 'properties of the shortcut key' as it says
but doesn't do. Oh well have to write to MS or better yet Google it. What
I'm trying to do is get Windows key + E to open in a different folder as I
can do by right clicking explorer under accessories.
