Do you need just one or a few special keyboard shortcuts for your favorite program(s)?
When the properties window opens click in the shortcut key text area.
All that you gotta do is choose an appropriate letter for the program (i.e.
O for Opera, E for Editra, etc.)
and throw in it in the blank.
Click OK to finish creating the new keyboard shortcut.
Those new keyboard shortcuts will speed up access to your favorite software.
Another example from our system using I for Iron internet tool.
Certainly much quicker than using the start menu.
