I usually make some key shortcut bindings for a things like Calculator and
things like that, and they usually stick, and work, as long as they are not
key shortcuts already used for something else.

I have made a binding for a (hidden) shortcut on the desktop, for a .vbs
script in the WINDOWS folder.

The shortcut works okay when I unhide it and double click it, but key
bindings that I make for it just do not work (but sometimes do). Why is the
key binding so unreliable? I have tried different key combinations.

Put the "shortcut" in the start menu, programs instead of "hiding" it.

Now why didn't I think of that? Cheers.

The .vbs script toggles displaying hidden and system files, so to be able to
toggle them instantly now is great.
