It works. After you hear the first thing you Tab twice and it'll tell you to input the Hot Key. after you hit the hot key you want, Tab to apply, hit enter. Then Tab to OK and it's done.

Hi Rogelio,

When you press alt + enter to access the properties dialogue for My
Documents from the desktop this is what you get.
My Documents Properties
Target General Sharing
The My Documents folder is a shortcut to the target
folder location shown below.
Target folder location
Target: C:\Documents and Settings\Mike\My Documents
Restore Default Move... Find Target...
OK Cancel Apply
There is not a shortcut key option in here and so this is why you create
your shortcut through the applications key and follow the rest of the steps
that Dan layed out so nicely.  This is for XP Home.  I don't know if these
same steps would apply for XP Pro.  Take care.
Mike

I am unsure of what you mean when you say system Icon.  Do you mean the
System Trey?

XP It does work if I create a shortcut icon but not on the system icon.

What system is that?  That's how I used to do it on XP and now I am using
Vista?  It works on both.

Here is another way.  Go to the My documents icon on the Desktop.  Hit
Alt+Enter and you will be in the properties.  Tab around and the rest is
easy.

Hi,

Here's what you can do.

1.  go to the my documents entry on your desktop.
2.  Right click on that item with your applications key and arrow up or
down
until you hear create shortcut and press enter.
3.  you now have a shortcut on your desktop you want to look for called
shortcut to my documents. When you find it, right click again and go to
the
properties.
4.  You can tab through the properties until you find the place to fill
in
your shortcut key.
5.  Pick the key you want; hit it and press enter.

I hope this is at least a little helpful.

Dan

Hi All,

Is there any way to create a shortcut keystroke to My Documents?  I
would
like to do this so I can access My Documents from any application that I
happen to be in without having to go back to the desktop.  I have tried
several different ways to make a shortcut for this and just can't figure this one out. Thanks much. All help will be greatly appreciated. Take
care.
Mike
