When you have created a shortcut, you need to configure its settings. Shortcut settings enable you to link your shortcut to a file, provide a description of the shortcut, or pass arguments.

To configure the settings for a shortcut:

1. In the View List under System Configuration, click Shortcuts.
2. In the Shortcuts explorer, click the shortcut. The shortcut’s settings are displayed in the right pane.
3. Configure the settings as needed.
