Is there a way to launch My Computer from the keyboard when the keyboard does not have a Windows key?
Remapping keys etc. or registry tweaks will not be useful in my scenario as I have to do this on lots of computers. I'm renaming computers after imaging, using an image that has had the My Computer icon removed.
Answer
Short answer: There isn't one.
Possible workarounds:
- Get a keyboard with a Windows key to use for the task.
- Use a mouse for the task.
- Recreate the master image with a desktop shortcut to a batch file that runs
explorer.exe /e,::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}(more info here and here) and then deletes the shortcut, and then deletes itself (the batch file). You can then assign a preferred shortcut key to the shortcut to launch it. One that doesn't depend on the Win key.
