How to Create a Windows Shortcut Key

program you wish to create a shortcut for.
2. Right-click on the program and click Create
Shortcut.
3. This will create a shortcut named
"Shortcut to <your program>" in the directory you are in. If
you wish to rename this shortcut, right-click the file and click Rename.
4. Once the above steps have been completed, you
can copy this shortcut and paste it anywhere to execute this program.
Once the shortcut has been created, you can
assign a keystroke to that Windows shortcut.
1. Right-click the shortcut and click Properties.
2. Click the Shortcut tab.
3. Click in the Shortcut key box and
press a letter. For example, if you press "p", the shortcut key will

Ctrl and Alt and P will run that shortcut.
