Keyboard shortcut for your favorite Application

Going to the Start menu-->All Programs every time to open an application is quite a long process.
It is quite boring if you use it very often.

Here is a better way to do it just using 3keys of your keyboard.

1.Right click in the application/shortcut of the application
2. Select Properties


3. Select Shortcut in the 'Properties' window
4. Click on Shortcut Key text box and type key which you want to use as a shortcut for the selected application


Ex: Here I want to create a shortcut for Firefox with the Hotkey- 'F'
So in the 4th step I type the letter F

5.Click on Apply

From now, if I want to open Firefox, I will just do "Ctrl+Alt+F"

Like wise you can apply this to any number of applications
Note: Do not assign same Hotkey to two different applications.
