Maintaining custom keyboard shortcuts across restarts
My keyboard does does not have a sleep button so I setup a desktop shortcut with the command line command (rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState 0,1,0) per instructions on various sites and setup a keyboard shortcut of F2 in the Properties. It works, but then when I restart the computer, it does not remember the shortcut. My guesses are either
1) Windows just doesn't remember such custom shortcuts across restarts
2) F2 is already a standard Windows shortcut for something else, and when I set the shortcut it overrides it, but when I restart the computer the standard shortcut takes over again.
Does anyone know which applies (or something else), and if 1), is there a way to automatically reestablish the shortcut, and if 2) is there a way to automatically reestablish the shortcut, or is there a "safe" keyboard shortcut I could use that isn't used for anything else? I would prefer to have to use a key combination since this is for my parents and I went to make it as simple as possible.
thanks
