CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET Staff

This powerful utility makes it easy to create and manage hot keys that open programs, shut down your computer, control media applications, and more.

Hotkeyz's intuitive interface divides hot keys into nine preset categories, including Control Panel, Desktop, and Internet. A simple table lists the 11 preconfigured hot keys that perform basic tasks like launching Internet Explorer, accessing the Control Panel, and adjusting volume. Novices will appreciate the step-by-step guide to creating their own hot keys, especially for more complex operations such as opening your Internet Explorer home page or automatically filling in online log-in information. A reliable help guide also eases the learning the curve.

Hotkeyz sits in the system tray when not in use, but of course, it has its own hot key combination. This user-friendly, effective freeware application makes it easy for anyone to create customized keyboard shortcuts.

Publisher's description

From Skynergy :

From the developer: "HotKeyz is a shortcut utility with shortcut control for executing other files, folders or RUN commands. Launch them in a Normal, Minimized or Maximized State. The Parameter option gives you parameter control when launching another application like Internet Explorer and surfing to a specific site as parameter. For example 'iexplore.exe' with the parameter 'www.skynergy.com'. It also features default hotkeys minimizing or closing the active window, launching your e-mail window to compose a new email and control your WinAmp 2.x without it being focused."
