Did you know you can create your
own keyboard shortcuts to open up your favorite programs, webpage's, and
folders.. It is really easy. You can make a shortcut from any icon on
your desktop. Here's how.
-
Choose an icon on the desktop to
create a shortcut to. (How do I create a desktop shortcut?)
-
Then right click on
it to bring up a menu
-
Choose Properties.
-
Look for the shortcut key
box.
-
Now type a letter in there and the
rest will be filled in for you. Then choose apply and ok.
-
See in the screenshot
below. If I press Ctrl + Alt + A this program will start.

 NOTE:
-
Do not use the same shortcut
key for two programs as the computer will get confused and will probably jam
up.
-
You cannot use certain keys in
your shortcuts, like the Shift, Tab, Esc, and Windows key.
This tip also applies to all
editions of Windows Vista.
