You mean something like:

VB

Public Sub Form1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As KeyPressEventArgs) Handles Me.KeyPress

        If e.KeyChar = Convert.ToChar(1) Then 'Ctrl-A 
        'Do something
        End If

        If e.KeyChar = Convert.ToChar(2) Then 'Ctrl-B 
        'Do something
        End If

        'etc....

End Sub

I want different hotkey for different actions, and can change them any time by assigning new keys for launching the same application or folder locations...is it possible using vb.net??
