98SE nic-nic-cable 98SE

Getting confused here again. . .
I have A1 PC and A2 PC on a Lan. With Windows Explorer look at
A2 from A1. Shows up fine. Load (double click) a file from A2 (MS Excel Worksheet).
File is protected, so I click shortcut keyboard keys to automate password
input. Shortcut keyboard keys via app Keytext.
Q : Do keyboard shortcut keys in this situation refer to those on A1 PC
(where I am working) or those on A2 that I have open in Windows Explorer ?
nasty q that one I think

I think I'm following your line of thought. The shortcut is property to the system it is installed on... but the "path" of the shortcut can certainly enact activity on the "other" system if correctly formatted. Excuse my response if I'm not on the same wave length.
Not to change your thread, but through the network, I have "open / run " an .exe program (program resident on A2 / executed from A1 network view). I viewed the program running on my system, but I'm not sure "which" computer resource was running the program... I think mine (A1). But if a program requires "files writes / updates" this could get real messy. My assumption, this where a true "file server" relationship comes into play.

 

Thanks Dennis, Your post cleared up some of my suspicions.
As you say, on a simple LAN, you have to keep to simple options and
file password shortcut keys activated on one PC may have no meaning for, or be transmitted on the other PC.
Have some more work to on this one.
