changing ctrl alt 1 hotkey

hello,

im in agony trying to figure out how to change the hotkey, or enable it to do what i want,

it used to work ! but since reinstalling windows 10 ive lost the ability,

currently ctrl alt 1 makes my desktop icons slightly bigger,

im trying to change it to open up a program, ive edited the shortcut, ive enabled hotkeys in the group policy, and for the life of me i cannot figure how its not working, or how to change it so it does what i want,

if anybody knows, thank you in advance it would be greatly appreciated,

many thanks,

stuart

Hello stuartrozier83 and welcome to TF

See this:
How to Assign Keyboard Shortcut to Shortcuts in Windows 10
it can be done without any third party apps, but the shortcut must be in the specified locations:

"This tutorial will show you how to assign a keyboard shortcut to open a shortcut on your desktop, taskbar, or Start menu in Windows 10."

Hello, thank you for your quick reply ! i have done this, ive added the shortcut command in properties, but when im executing the command on the keyboard - simply - nothing is happening - sometimes it makes the icons larger, sometimes it doesn't,

ive googled and googled, some websites are stating it has something to do with windows 10 not having hotkeys enabled by default, it states to change it in the group policy, but still, its not launching kodi,

many thanks again,

I'll leave you with Steve108 then as you've not acknowledged my post. Good luck.

sorry, i’m not sure how to write scripts, im still ana amateur, i’ve been using my harmony remote to launch the kodi app on my windows pc, and this was the process harmony advised,
but when it comes to writing scripts it’s a bit out of my expertise 😝

thankyou all the same
