Since you're referring to Shortcuts, which is Microsoft Windows feature,
you may want to post your question in a Windows forum rather than this
one, which is dedicated to Macintosh topics.

If you're referring to Macintosh aliases then I'm not surprised
Microsoft would want to charge you to answer an Apple-related question.

Good luck! bill
