How can I customize the Windows shortcuts - like WinKey + D = Show desktop and so on. Is there a not so hard to use program for it? Recently I've moved to a different keyboard layout and it's very uncomfortable to use all the shortcuts that I'm used to with the new layout.
Excuse me if there it has already been discussed. I couldn't find the thread. If so - just redirect me.

Hi pafkata90. Just a suggestion but press F1 and type in "keyboard shortcuts" (no quotes). There are many topics there. I hope this helps. :)

Sorry but this is the best I could do.
I used the tutorial for finding the missing info but still could not find it. Special Thanks to PooMan UK and DocBrown for their help in filling out these specs.
If you're referring to the Windows Help and Support - I didn't find what I was looking for there :) Thanks anyway

Thank you for the link. Although it's still not what I want :) I want to reassign functions like WinKey+D, Ctrl+X, Ctrl+T...

Sorry that I haven't been much (any) help. Thank You for the rep by the way even though I haven't earned it yet, but it's very kind of you. I have one last link for you, I don't think it's what you're looking for either but it is the only tutorial I can find on shortcuts. Good Luck

Right click program of choice, properties, shortcut tab. This will let you assign CTRL + ALT shortcuts.. Unsure about CTRL only and Win commands..

Tobben, I know this. Thanks anyway. I'm trying to reassign Ctrl+C, Ctrl+X, Ctrl+V, Ctrl+W, Ctrl+T, WinKey+D, WinKey+E, and some others, but these are the important ones. Like the built in Windows keyboard shortcuts. Not assigned to certain program.

For hard core tweakers: edit the scan codes in the Registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout
Or check out KeyTweak

Thank you all but I managed to fix the ctrl shortcuts myself using Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator and creating a complete new layout. Still those with the Windows key are messed up.
PS: It's all fine now. The thread can be locked :)
