SUMMARY
The Microsoft IntelliType Pro version 2.0 software allows for customization of keys and buttons on the keyboards that are listed in the &quot;Applies To&quot; section. However, the &quot;Launch a file, Web page, or program&quot; function has limitations with long file names.

MORE INFORMATION
To customize a hot key with the &quot;Launch a file, Web page, or program&quot; function, you must follow the same method as when you enter paths into the Run dialog box (on the Start menu): When you enter a long file name, you need to use opening and closing quotation marks.

For example, although the following file name does not work

d:\program files\notepad.exe c:\temp\a.txt

the following does work:

&quot;d:\program files\notepad.exe&quot; c:\temp\a.txt

The IntelliType Pro version 2.0 software should work with all of the following:

c:\temp\a.txt

notepad c:\temp\a.txt

notepad.exe c:\temp\a.txt

d:\winnt.1\system32\notepad.exe c:\temp\a.txt

d:\winnt.1\system32\notepad.exe junk c:\temp\a.txt (Control Panel accepts this, and then Notepad gives warning at start)
