Note
Once you assign a shortcut key combination for a specific program, you will
not be able to use that key combination with other programs.

> got an error box saying "Cannot find the C:\Documents and

You should be able to click the Browse button to locate the path to where
you relocated the shortcut. I.e. %appdata%\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\Quick Launch

For shutdown and restart, the shortcut keys probably point to...

Shutdown
%windir%\System32\shutdown.exe -s -t 00

Restart
%windir%\System32\shutdown.exe -r -t 00
