Quick launch of any program on Windows
When you often run the same programs, you want to set up hotkeys for them. Quick launch of programs is convenient and will increase the efficiency of work in the computer.
Assignment of hot keys for launching programs in Windows is possible using the settings of their launch shortcuts. Therefore, if there is no shortcut for the desired program on the desktop, find this program in the “Start” menu and send the shortcut to the desktop.
When the shortcut of the desired program is on the desktop, right-click on it to call the context menu and select the item at the very bottom “Properties”. The properties of the shortcut will open already on the tab “Shortcut”.
In field “Shortcut” click with the mouse so that the cursor is there, then press any key of your choice, for example, ” Q”. Two keys from the combination are already set by the system settings, so the launch of the program in our case will cause the combination “Ctrl + Alt + Q
“.
When the hotkeys for starting the program are assigned, click at the bottom of the window “Apply”, then “OK”. It is worth noting that when deleting shortcuts from the desktop the hotkey settings that you have set to quickly launch your programs will also be deleted.
