If you have programs that you’re constantly accessing then there’s
another way
to load them up quicker without clogging up your taskbar.
Right click on the program’s icon (often found from the Start menu or your
desktop) and select Properties. This will open up the program’s properties and
from here you should switch to the Shortcut tab. The field called Shortcut key
is the one we care about.
Click in the field and press a key of your choice. This key, along with Ctrl + Alt
combined, will now become your customised shortcut to opening this program in
a flash.
