There are already a number of products on the market
designed to assist those with disabilities.  These include:
        Voice Recognition - Dragon Naturally Speaking, IBM Via
Voice, Kurzweil, Lernhout & Hauspie, etc.
        Screen Readers - Many Freeware & Shareware, such as the one
that comes with the soundcard
        FootPedals,
        Laser Eye Trackers and so on

In direct response to the question, since every shortcut on
the  desktop can be assigned a "shortcut key"
1) right-click on the shortcut
2) Scroll down to Properties  (Press "R")
3) Tab to Shortcut  (Press TAB 5X then the Right Arrow)
4) Click in ShortCut Key (Press TAB 3X)
5) press any key on the keyboard

and then you have CTL+ALT+key as the key press to that
shortcut.

Copy the LNK file to a diskette and then copy it onto the
other systems as needed.

Also, contacting the Occupational Therapy department's at a
few Colleges and Universities will generate many hardware
and software options that have already been developed or are
under development.  I know that our OT dept teaches courses
on assistive technology as a requirement for graduation and
certification.
