Create a Shortcut to Any Program You Want
May 6th, 2008 . by Markus - Add a Comment
An easy tool you can use to make your everyday use on your computer easy is shortcuts. Everyone knows about shortcuts (ctrl+c, ctrl+v etc), but did you know you can create shortcuts for any program you want. So instead of using your mouse to open up a program you can simply make a shortcut, this can be very handy if you use certain programs a lot.
In this example I will show you how to create a shortcut for Internet Explorer, but the method is just the same for any program;
- Click start and all programs
- Find the program you want and right click on it
- Click properties
- Click the shortcut tab
- Find the shortcut key area
- Here you just have to type a key that you want to be used with Ctrl + Alt in a shortcut
- Once typed it will show up automatically
- Click apply and OK and you have made a shortcut
As you can see in the image below I set Ctrl + Alt + K as the shortcut for Internet Explorer, and it works fine.
