Windows Quick Tip: Set up keyboard shortcuts for your most used icons.

It’s very annoying and counter productive for your hands to leave the keyboard as you use your mouse to click, click, clickity click click away at something. Join the ranks of power users to add keyboard shortcuts for every computer task you do. Yup Any Task!

Built into Windows is the ability to let you assign a keyboard command to any shortcut icon. Just right-click the shortcut you want to assign a Shortcut to, click Properties, and click in the ‘Shortcut key’ field. Then press the combo you want to assign to launch the shortcut.

Also, did you know that the Windows Key-R launched the Run box and Windows Key-E opens Windows Explorer? Consider yourself more productive!

Are you feeling that productivity boost?
