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.

Hope this tutorial was useful for you.So do comment to encourage me!!!

Windows 7 Top 6 Killer Tricks




As far,I have posted a trick about how to change windows 7 taskbar to look like windows vista taskbar.Now I will show you top 6 killer tricks for Windows 7 which will shock you!!!!!These simple but extra ordinary tricks will make you work easy and get more out of Windows 7.







So lets get started:

1.Windows Size management:As we all know that we can change the size of opened windows in 7 by simply picking it and hitting it to the left screen to adjust it in the left half scree,hit it right to adjust it in the right half screen,and hit hit to with the top screen to maximise it.But how much of us know that we can also use:

  • Win+Left arrow or Win+Right arrow key to do the same adjustment.
  • Win+Up or Win+Down arrow key to maximise or minimise a window.

2.Cut out the clutter:Working on some important document and wanna get rid of all the non-active windows opened?Minimising each window individually can take a lot of time.So simply use:
Win+Home key to minimise all the non active windows and continue your work.

3.Black Box Recorder:Windows 7 comes with a Problem Steps Recorder tool.You can use Problem Steps Recorder to automatically capture the steps you take on a computer, including a text description of where you clicked and a picture of the screen during each click (called a screen shot). Once you capture these steps, you can save them to a file that can be used by a support professional or someone else helping you with a computer problem.
To run this,simply click Start button,and search for psr.Now run it.










4.Configuring External Display Projection:Have you messed up with your external projector to get it connected with your notebook.Well in this case,windows 7 can really make it very easy.Hit Win+P key to use this function.

5.Switching between windows:Windows vista was having a feature that helped users to switch between a number of windows opened.But although it is not shown physically in Windows 7,but it is still there.To use this simply hit Win+Tab key and see what happens.Wow!!!!!!!! You are a genius...Keep rocking!!!!!!!!

6.Add more options to Send To:And now the last but not the least trick. When we right click on a file and navigate to send to option,there are a limited number of options only.But we can make it to show even more options.For this,all you have to do is to hold shift key while right clicking on a file.
