Component Property (Shortcut)

See Also   Tasks      

Specifies the file name that is the key of the component to which the selected shortcut is assigned. When a shortcut is assigned to a component, the shortcut is only created and installed on the target machine if that component is also installed.

You can change the value displayed to assign the shortcut to a new component or to a "default" component. Assigning the shortcut to a default component means the shortcut is created as part of any installation of your product.
