233988 2004-05-03 12:57:00 Hey guys.

I'm reshaping the GUI of my PC after wading through hundreds of shell replacements and deciding to give Desktop X one more go.

What I need to know is the shortcuts to such system utilities such as:
Search
Help
Find
The settings menu
Shut down, logoff, hibernate, stand by, restart
Network
Recycle bin

Do I have to use all the {X195FFFGH-GHYYTHDHH547HNGGG-556HNG} things or is there a simpler way?

The reason I'm not using dx to make these shorcuts is cos I'll have to make up all the text and menu in photoshop for those of you who have used dx.

Oh and I use Win2k.

Cheers

Search - Windows Key and F
Help - F1 (of course!!)
Find - Same as search
The settings menu
Shut down, logoff, hibernate, stand by, restart - Windows Key then U then underlined letter
Network - Windows Key and E will bring up Explorer - go from there

If you are wanting specific details of how to use these type of shortcuts with
Desktop X, I'm sorry but I don't know.

I want these in text form. Like in a desktop shortcut.

For example: xxx user.dll; exit xxxx or something along those lines to shutdown the computer.
