What's Shortcuts Map
---------------------
Shortcuts Map will help you to manage hotkeys assigned to shortcuts on the desktop or in the Start menu hierarchy. With the straightforward user interface, you can easily to change a hotkey or find an unused hotkey.

One day, I got an e-mail from Marc Marczinzik, a strange German. He said, "I sometimes (whenever I install a new utility) need a list of all Hotkeys already assigned to a program in my Windows95/98 Startmenu. Did I choose Ctrl+Alt+V for my Videograbber or for Volume? And is CTRL+Alt+G still free for a new installed Gadget? A program that scans all links on the desktop and in the startmenu and then presents at least simple list of all hotkeys would really help." I think this is a useful idea, so I decide to try. Now you can also enjoy it. If you get an great idea, please don't hesitate to send your wish to suggest@zealsoftstudio.com.

1. How to make the program to run faster?
Q. On my computer, it takes a few minutes to loading the shortcuts when the program starts. Is there a way to make it faster?
A. You can click the Options button and clear the "Read icons when loading shortcuts" checkbox, and then click the OK button. Next time when you start this program or use Refresh button, the program will not display icons of shortcuts, but it will be much faster.

2. Why the program only searches the shortcuts on the desktop or in the Start menu?
Q. I found the program only searches the shortcuts on the desktop or in the Start menu. Why it doesn't search other folders?
A. Shortcut keys work only for shortcuts on the desktop or in the Start menu hierarchy. If the shortcut is not on the desktop or in the Start menu hierarchy, you cannot use its shortcut key to start the assigned program. Event when you use a shortcut key to start a program on the Quick Launch toolbar, Windows will ignore your hotkey setting.
 
3. Where can I find more information about shortcut keys?
Q. I'm not familiar with shortcut keys. Where can I find more information?
