<\/p>\nDo you have several programs you use every day? Instead of clicking on the start menu or a desktop or taskbar shortcut to open those programs, why not create a hotkey combination to open them? It’s really easy to do.<\/p>\n
Let’s get started using Hotkey combinations:<\/p>\n
I use Thunderbird every day. I have a shortcut on my taskbar and on my start menu for it. It’s nice having a shortcut on the taskbar because it’s always right where I can see it. However, you can only add so many shortcuts to your taskbar before you can’t see all your shortcuts.<\/p>\n
So rather than taking up taskbar space with another icon, I decided to create a hotkey shortcut to open Thunderbird. It’s really easy to do.<\/p>\n
I thought a good hotkey combination to open Thunderbird woudl be CTRL+ALT+T . T being for Thunderbird – I’m so smart \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
So all I had to do was open Thunderbird’s Properties dialog . You can do this for any program by right-clicking its shortcut or right-clicking on the program’s executable\u00a0file — and then clicking on “Properties”.<\/p>\n
Once you have the Properties window open, click anywhere inside the shortcut key box:<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
… and type in your desired Hotkey combination.<\/p>\n

\nTo get the Hotkeys CTRL+ALT+T \u00a0for Thunderbird, all I had to do was press CTRL T. Windows automatically adds the ALT and the + signs. \u00a0Press “Apply” then “OK” when your done to save your Hotkey combo for that program.<\/p>\n
When you click “Apply” “OK”, \u00a0you do, you may see this:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
If you do see this dialog, no worries mate, just press “Continue” and your Hotkey combo for that program will be saved.<\/p>\n
Now all I have to do to open Thunderbird is press CTRL+ALT+T . Pretty cool.<\/p>\n
Here’s more info on how to create Hotkey combos for your favorite programs:<\/p>\n
If you hold the CTRL key and type a letter, number, or Function Key, Windows will automatically add the ALT key to the combination<\/p>\n
If you hold the ALT key and type a letter, number, or Function Key, Windows will automatically add the CTRL key to the combination<\/p>\n
You can use the CTRL, ALT, and\/or SHIFT keys in combination with a letter, number, or Function Key<\/p>\n
If you try to use a Hotkey combination that you’ve already used, Windows will detect it. You can’t use the same Hotkey combo more than once.<\/p>\n
I created Hotkey combos for Notepad<\/p>\n
CTRL+ALT+N<\/p>\n
![\"Cloudeight](\"http:\/\/thundercloud.net\/infoave\/images\/2017\/hotkeys3.png\")
<\/p>\n
And Chrome<\/p>\n
CTRL+ALT+C<\/p>\n
And Firefox<\/p>\n
CTRL+ALT+F<\/p>\n
I know I can remember my four Hotkey combos because I’ve made them easy to remember. \u00a0And I’ll use them almost every day!<\/p>\n
T=Thunderbird<\/p>\n
N=Notepad<\/p>\n
C=Chrome<\/p>\n
F=Firefox<\/p>\n
