Create a Shortcut Key for any application

You can create your own custom key combination in keyboard to launch any application.
In order to do that:

1. Right click on the application shortcut/icon, go to properties.

2. Note where it says “Shortcut Key”. Enter your combination here.
     For example:

     “Ctrl+Alt+U”
   
     The choice is purely up to you.

3. Click OK. Your shortcut is now effective! Just hit that key combination and your application will be
     launched.


You can also shutdown the computer by pressing your own keys but you will have to create a Shutdown shortcut first. To learn that go to:
Create Shutdown Icon

After creating the Shutdown icon you may shutdown the system using keyboard by giving your own custom key combination to the shortcut as mentioned above.


Happy Tweaking!
