Hi! I would like to assign some hotkeys for various functions in the Vista
RTM. But, I am not sure where this is done, other than perhaps some
assignments in the EOA.
Where/how might I be able to assign some various hot keys in the Vista?
If you mean "shortcut keys" it is done the same way as in WinXP. Go to the
shortcut's properties and you can make an assignment there.

Thank you for your time and help, but, perhaps I have misstated what I need.
I want to reassign a keyboard key, such as F9 as an example, to do a
different function than its original function. How would I do that? Or is
it possible?
