You can use keyboard shortcuts to launch any application . This feature is built right into Windows, but many people do not take advantage of it simply because they are unaware of it.Setting up a keyboard shortcut for any application in your start menu is fast and simple. Steps below explain how to create program shortcuts in Windows:
- Navigate the start menu to the application you want to shortcut. In this example, we will create a shortcut for the Calculator (one that I use all the time).
- Right-click on the application, and click on Properties.
- In the Properties window, you’ll see a field titled Shortcut key. Go to that field and type the letter C (or any other key you wish to use to launch the Calculator).
- Click OK
Now, whenever you want to quickly launch Calculator, just hit Ctrl-Alt-C (or whatever key you chose).
