For this tip, we will use MS PAINT to represent any program you wish to open with a keyboard shortcut. Right-click PAINT’s icon, and select PROPERTIES. Click the SHORTCUT tab and place the cursor in the SHORTCUT KEY box, that currently says “None.” While pressing down CTRL, type any letter, like “P” (for Paint), and you will see that in the SHORTCUT KEY box, it now says CTRL-ALT-P. Now, whenever you type CTRL-ALT-P, Paint will open automatically.
Another great tool that is buried in START, ALL PROGRAMS, ACCESSORIES is Calculator, which I have set up to open up with CTRL-ALT-C.
And if you don’t like the CTRL-ALT combo, try CTRL-SHIFT instead!
