Up-to-the-minute word, Windows 8 should be released in two years. One of Microsofts subsidiaries leaked the anticipated release date over the last few days. Lets trust it observes the Windows 7 development procedure.We do not want to have another Vista fiasco

Adding a shortcut’s working path to the PATH environmental variable has no effect on its shortcut key. It only allows you to execute a program on the command line without typing the full path. And might I add, at the expense of system resources. Windows will scan every path in the PATH variable before attempting to launch any program from the command line. This adds to the launch time considerably.

There is obviously a lot to know about this. I think you made some good points in Features also.

Hi Vj,

Are you having trouble with custom shortcut keys not working or the built-in Windows shortcuts? Can you provide an example?

Thanks,
Nilpo

That’s pretty typical of Microsoft. They’ve got their hands in so many different areas that they never have enough time to thoroughly document everything.

Not to worry though. That’s why there’s Nilpo.com.

i’ve always wondered why this is. there should have been a LOT MORE documentation and help information regarding shortcuts. MS fails yet again.
