Application Shortcut

[harsh_c]

I have created one application in VB.Net. I want to create one shortcut for it like Window key+E (for Explorer). How can i do that?

I'll need some clarification. Are you looking for a shortcut like from you own desktop or are you looking for how to create a shortcut to your application from within a distribution set? So as to automatically create a shortcut on a users PC desktop when installing your app.

You will need to use Win32 API. here are functions you can use... [DllImport("USER32.dll")] public static extern bool RegisterHotKey(IntPtr hWnd, int id, int fsModifiers, int vlc); [DllImport("USER32.dll")] public static extern bool UnregisterHotKey(IntPtr hWnd, int id);

Are you going to check whether the user is using that shortcut for something else first? Hijacking users' control over their own machines is not a way to create good will towards your app.
