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.

Version: HotKeyz 2.7.2
Pros: You can create your own keystrokes to do just about anything on your CPU. Your best friend if you prefer not to use a mouse.
Cons: Can't think of anything.
Summary: I've been using this product for at least 6 months now and it does exactly what it's intended to do. You pick a key combo, and it runs the self designated folder/application you've corresponded it with. I'm constantly thinking of new uses for this... read more >>
