Shortcuts are a fast and a simple method to launch applications.Like for opening task manager we useCtrl+Shift+Esc.Everyone has different set of programs that they use frequently.By using this trick you can create a custom shortcut for any program.We don’t need any third party software to create these shortcuts.You can use this trick in Windows Xp,Vista and Windows 7.I have tried in window 7.

Now I will show you how you can create a Custom Shortcut for Adobe Photoshop and by using the same process you can create custom shortcut for any program.

• Click on Start button and type the name of the program (e.g.photoshop)
• Now right click on the program and click on Properties

• In the Shortcut Key field type any key that you want to use as shortcut.(I will use Pfor photoshop)
• Now  your custom shortcut for this program will be Ctrl+Alt+Key (So my shortcut is Ctrl+Alt+P for photoshop)

• Press Ok button to save these changes and then close the dialog box.
• Now you can use the custom shortcut to launch  the program.

You can create as many shortcuts for as many programs as you want.

Sometime back someone decided to create  ‘Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope’ in command line interface so that you can watch it on DOS .There is no sound associated with this movie but the dialogues are written alongside the screen.It is real fun to watch starwars movie in DOS.This trick requires that you should have internet connection.As this trick is in command line interface so it doesn’t need high speed internet connection and  even dialup connections will work smoothly.
