WIn+E to open XYplorer

I have enabled shell integration which works just fine but is it possible to override the Win+E shortcut to launch the program instead of windows explorer?

Workaround: pin XY to taskbar at the left-most position -> <Win>+<1> (or any number >1 and <=9 for any pos to the right)

Then another one: you'll find some hardcore AutoHotkey fellows here as well (*).

The necessary AHK script is very simple:
Code: Select all
#NoEnv
;#NoTrayIcon
#Persistent
#SingleInstance, FORCE
xy = "D:\Portable\XYplorer\XYplorer.exe" /user="cmd"
#e::
Run %xy%
Return
save this as an ahk file, then run it once manually or run on startup.
*Edit* Don't forget to change the path to XY for the "xy" variable in this script
*Edit2* now also allows cmdline args! *Edit3* Consequently don't forget to update/remove the example `/user="cmd"` switch
