I have been all over the Internet trying to learn how to either create a new keyboard shortcut or reprogram a function key on my Lenovo Ideapad laptop, which runs on Windows 11. One promising Microsoft page I found here, entitled "Customize keyboard shortcuts" (for Word and probably Outlook Classic 365, which I use) sent me to File > Options > Customize Ribbon. On that screen there was supposed to be a "Keyboard shortcuts: Customize" button, but there is no such button in my app.
Another promising Microsoft page, called "How do you change the keyboard shortcuts," located here, said the following:
I found similarly promising instructions related to reassigning Fn keys, but none of them worked, either.
What would be most helpful to me is a hotkey or keyboard shortcut I could use to go directly to a document file I use a lot or even just to my Desktop. Is there no hope of achieving this?
Thanks!

- Open Settings: Press Windows key + I to open the Settings menu.
- Go to Accessibility: In the Settings menu, select "Accessibility".
- Find Keyboard Settings: Under Accessibility, click on "Keyboard".
- Enable Shortcut Customization: Scroll down to the "Keyboard shortcuts" section and toggle the switch to enable customization.
- Remap Keys: Click on "Remap a key" and select the key you want to change. Assign the correct function (e.g., volume control).
- Save and Apply Changes: Save your changes and test the new shortcuts to make sure they work as expected.
