Create Keyboard Shortcuts to Open Programs

You can create keyboard shortcuts to open programs. Opening programs this way is often simpler than opening them using your mouse or other pointing device. Before you get started, you need to create a shortcut for the program to which you want to assign a keyboard shortcut. To do this, open the folder that contains the program, right-click the program's executable file, and then click Create Shortcut. In this tutorial,I will be creating shortcut for Google Chrome Browser.

1.Right Click on the shortcut of Google Chrome icon & click Properties.

2.In the Shortcut Properties dialog box, click the Shortcut tab.

3.Click in the Shortcut key box, press the key on your keyboard that you want to use in combination with Ctrl+Alt (keyboard shortcuts automatically start with Ctrl+Alt), and then click OK. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation and hit Ok.

4.In this tutorial,I have used B as the shortcut key combination along with Ctrl+Alt.

5.Now whenever you want to open Chrome,simply press Ctrl+Alt+B and it will get open.
