"Windows Key + E"...replace to open FreeCommander

[mirton]

Hello,

My first post
Recently I switched to FC after using windows explorer. I've used other commanders in the past.

Anyway, while using WE, I used the Windows Key + E to open My Computer, which is a very good shortcut.
I was trying to find a way to modify this shortcut in order to open FC. Couldn't find anything, the only thing I found was how to disable the windows key.

If modifying this key is not possible then could someone tell me if I can assign a shortcut for maximizing FC? couldn't find one in the Keyboard shortcut list (only minimize).

Thanks,
mirton.

P.S.
It would be nice if the forum system would tell me that the title is too long instead of shortening it by itself

I must have not made myself clear, when I was asking about maximizing, is there an option to make it a global hot key, so that I can maximize it out of the task tray.

Have you heard of AutoHotKey?

[mirton]

Yes I have, I don't want to clog my task tray with as many running apps as possible. Maybe this might be a good new feature for FC, to implement global hot keys.

HotkeyP is easier to use, it's better for normal users.

BTW you can hide the HotkeyP tray icon and you can replace many other tools/programs with it.
