I'm sure you'll get a list.  Try CTR-ALT + a variety of 3rd keys to find
out what short cuts you already have.  Example: Just now I hit CTR-ALT-W
and WordPad came up.  Record the ones you already have and the rest
should be available for you to set.  

If you have a program you want a keyboard shortcut to, and you already
have an existing shortcut Icon for that program....right click on the
Icon...choose....Properties..  Shortcut...you'll see some open boxes,
one of which says ShortCut Key.  Type any unused letter there and it
will automatically add the CTR-ALT for you.  If you typed X in it would
show CTR-ALT-X as the shortcut key.  That's the one I use for my
shortcut to Explorer.

If you have program that doesn't already have a shortcut Icon you will
have to create a shortcut Icon first, then edit it to include a Keyboard
shortcut.
