You have to hold the Windows key and it will bring up the start menu where you have to type in the name of the program you want to launch and hit enter. For example, you can type in just a word and it will bring up the MS word for you.
  2. Dialog box – In order to open the dialog box you will have to press the Windows key + R. Now type in the program you want to launch and hit enter or press OK in the dialog box so that it comes up with the mentioned programs. So if you want to open Mozilla Firefox then you can type in Firefox and when you hit enter, it will open up the browser for you.
  3. Free third party app – In order to launch the programs quickly some people used to take the help of third party launcher apps like Launchy for free. Once you have installed this third party app you have to hold the Alt + Space key anywhere in the Window to make the Launchy appear. It is smarter than Windows shortcut keys as you can easily type in ffx to bring up the Firefox.
  4. Customizing the frequently used app – A keyboard shortcut can be customized for the app that is put to use frequently that way you won’t have to follow a long path to open it. For that you have to first figure out the app from the start menu or desktop and right click on it to get the properties and when you are in the properties window you need to go to the Shortcut tab and there enter your preferred keyboard shortcut. You can now open the app by typing in the saved shortcut path.
  5. Taskbar shortcuts – When you have many applications present on your taskbar, you can press Win + 1 to 9 key to open up each application. Instead of clicking on the application you are using the shortcut keys to open it from the taskbar.
