Hi all,

Now, I've a program which can be invoke via Ctr+Shift+E. I want to
simplify the above keys combination, say, remap it to a combination of
two keys. Is this possible? Any hints will be highly appreciated.

Best regards.

I don't know of a DOS or batch command that can map keys that way, unless
it's a TSR.

Create a shortcut to the program - in the properties of the shortcut called
"shortcut key" you can assign a key combination.

AFAIK, all such key combinations must start with Control+Shift+ltr or
Control+Alt+ltr. MS probably requires this to protect its predefined
shortcut key sequences from being redefined. So what the OP wants to
do is not easily done. I suspect it requires some intense Windows API
hacking.

Thanks for posting that Tom; I wasn't aware of that limitation.
