Windows XP allows the user to assign shortcut keys such as Ctrl+Alt+X to
applications or folders on the active desktop. I have assigned several of
thers but there is a problem. Sometime the app will start immediately, orher
times it will take about 30 seconds - one or the other. The same app may
work properly one time and not the next, and which apps work and which don't
vary at random. I seldom have more than two or three things running at the
same time, usually only one.

Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.

Have you tried creating a shortcut to your program that will put an Icon on
your desktop?
Then all you have to do is double click it.

What steps are you doing to create the shortcut keys?

Right-click desktop icon, choose 'Properties', on dialog at 'Shortcut key:'
press desired key combination (exmple Ctrl-Alt-X'), click 'Apply' and 'OK'.
Have used this procedure for years but have encountered described results
recently. No evidence of malware, etc. Thanks for reply.

Tried many combinations and cannot produce a failure. If this is a recent
failure I suggest you try
system restore. You may also want to try replacing keyboard driver.
