Mark,

Here is a listing of Windows shortcuts:
F1 for Help, of course
F2 to Rename a selected file or folder
F3 to Find a file or sub-folder within a folder
F4 (In Explorer) Displays the combo box
F5 to Refresh the screen
F6 Switches between panes in Windows Explorer
F8 (When machine is booting up "Starting Windows") for special boot menu
options like Safe Mode, Command Prompt only, etc.
F10 for Menu Access
CTRL+G (In Windows Explorer) for the "Goto" option
CTRL+X, C, or V to Cut, Copy, or Paste selected text
SHIFT+DELETE to Delete items immediately without putting them into the
Recycle Bin
ALT+ENTER to view the Properties of a selected item
ALT+SPACEBAR accesses the window menu in any window
ALT+SPACEBAR+C closes the active window
ALT+SPACEBAR+M moves the active window position using the arrow keys
ALT+SPACEBAR+N minimizes the active window
ALT+SPACEBAR+S resizes the active window using the arrow keys
ALT+SPACEBAR+X maximizes the active window
CTRL+drag a file to a folder to Copy a file
CTRL+SHIFT+drag a file to the desktop or a folder to Create a shortcut
CTRL+ESC to launch the Start Menu
CTRL+ESC+R to open the Run dialog box.
Win+R on a Microsoft Natural keyboard to open the Run dialog box.
SHIFT+F10 to Open taskbar properties
CTRL+Z to Undo the previous action
CTRL+A to Select all files or text
BACKSPACE (In Explorer) Goes to the parent folder

As you can see CTRL+C is definetly "copy."  You state that "I have changed
ctrl-v to ctrl-s
and ctrl-x to ctrl-t."  I don't thik that ctrl-t is "anything" right now,
however ctrl-s is the shortcut for "save."  People will associate this
command with saving a file.

Mark, I have changed ctrl-v to ctrl-s
and ctrl-x to ctrl-t. All works fine now,
BUT ctrl-c does not appear to do the copy
fucntion (even in other software). Are you
sure about this one ?
