Reliable custom Windows shortcut keys?

Reliable custom Windows shortcut keys? I have global Windows shortcut keys assigned to several different cmd.exe instances. I do this by creating shortcuts to cmd.exe on my desktop, and assigning each one a unique shortcut key (for example, CTRL + SHIFT + U). Pretty basic stuff. I'm using Win2K8 (R1 and R2).

"Yet another alternative to launch your programs fast and intuitively:
Launchy

Launchy is a free windows and linux utility designed to help you forget about your start menu, the icons on your desktop, and even your file manager.
Launchy indexes the programs in your start menu and can launch your documents, project files, folders, and bookmarks with just a few keystrokes!"

"If Explorer is busy then it can't handle the shortcuts, so another program is required.

A simple and efficient launcher is PS Hot Launch VVL:

This is a free utility that allows you
to define your own hotkeys so that a
single key press can launch an
application, insert commonly used
text, change your audio volume, or
just about anything else. The program
requires Win95/98/ME or WinNT/2000/XP,
and is an excellent performer even on
slow machines. PS Hot Launch is the
perfect alternative to the Start menu
and the Quick Launch panel."
