Launch any application with a keyboard shortcutThere are many app launchers that can help you open you more frequently used programs and files in a faster, easier way. But if you don’t like having to install software and prefer using built-in system workarounds, pay attention to this simple trick that lets you launch any application with a keyboard combination.

The first step is creating a shortcut to that application on your desktop. Then right click on the icon and select Properties. In the Shortcut key field, enter the combination you want to use for this program and then click on OK.

From now on, you’ll be able to launch this program with the keyboard shortcut you have defined. A time saver for keyboard junkies – you won’t have to switch to the mouse – but also a challenge for your memory: you’ll need to remember every shortcut.
