David, Why should we argue with Microsoft? Assigning hotkeys to shortcuts on the desktop works for us. They've worked on the 4 personal systems that I've done it on and I've assigned hotkeys to shortcuts on the desktop of several clients systems. It's worked for me in Win95, Win98 and Win NT. Perhaps rather than stating that it doesn't work, you might want to ask for assistance in getting it to work for you. "Happiness isn't getting what you want, but appreciating what you have."
