One of the must interested thing with Information technology is; shortcut is permitted! You are not a geek in computer world without using shortcuts. I know the first thing that comes to people mind about shortcuts is ctrl+c for copy or ctrl+v for paste! There are many windows shortcut that can save time! And make you get the best speed out of your windows machine.
Power of Ctrl+alt+
Create key combination for programs. Sometimes it sound tedious if you want to run a particular program, you have to come back to the desktop or all programs environment. What am about to show you will help you open any program (as long as you have created the shortcut key for the program) while running other programs, without going through startmenu nor desktop environment.
Step 1>>> Locate the program you want to create shortcut
Step 2>>> Right click and select properties, its always the last available option.
Step 3>>> Click on the shortcut option at the top of the opened window
Step 4>>> Locate a text field with the title shortcut key
Step 5>>> Click inside the text field and choose your shortcut key (it must be one character letter, number or special character ). as we can see we will have more than 40 unique keys.
Step 6>>> Click apply. UAC will popup asking for administrative privilege. Click continue then click OK.
You can now access your Application using this combination ctrl+alt+the key you defined. NB: This trick is based on first come first serve! And seniority! When you first create libre office shortcut with ctrl+alt+L, and later create the same shortcut to another App, no error will occur, but the first program will always use the shortcut.
Taskbar shortcut combination
This shortcut is short and precise. It goes in order! Meaning you count the apps pinned to your taskbar from left to right. My taskbar goes in this order. 1 Windows player, 2 File Explorer, 3 Word web, 4 Firefox, 5 Adobe Reader, 6 Xampp, 7 Firefox for developers, 8 Driver booster, 9 Android studio and 10 VLC. If I want to to access start, all I will do is click on menu key+6 Xampp will automatically starts. Again if its Android studio I want to start I will use the combination windows key+9 respectively. NB: This trick only work with 1 to 9.
Try alt+tab key your self....
