I don't know. You send the function
<modifier><keystroke>
Except keystroke is 0x44 (68) for D and modifier is 0x6 (6) for Ctrl + Alt
If set to a function key then it is the virtual key code, eg F11 is 0x7a (122) with no modifier and 122 is written to the Internet Shortcut.
So I can't see how 1604 maps to 0668. Except 16 is a virtual key for shift but 04 is the middle mouse button.
