A demonstration on how to add a short key command to quickly open an application from the desktop for Window users.
The speaker demonstrates how to open an icon on the desktop quickly by assigning a hotkey. They explain that they are using Windows 10, but the method is universal. They use the Notepad app as an example and assign the letter "N" as the hotkey. They then show how to use the hotkey (Ctrl + Alt + N) to open the app easily. The speaker hopes this information is helpful. Hello there folks. Today I'm going to show you how to open an icon on your desktop. Yes, I know there's ways to do it, which is hit your search box, type it in, or go to your desktop and hit the letter of the desired app. For this demonstration I'm using Windows 10, but this is universal. And I want to look for the Notepad app. Okay, there I am. I got the Notepad. So what I'm going to do, I'm going to assign a letter to that. So I can open it up faster. I'm going to hit the application key. I'm going to arrow up so I hear properties. Okay, enter. I'm going to tab so I hear hotkey. There you go. You said shortkey none. So I'm going to assign the letter. So what I like to do is put the first letter of the app. So Notepad, I'm going to put the letter N like a Nancy. N. And I'm going to hit enter. Okay, so what that did, I put the letter N as a shortkey command. So now when I want to open up that particular app, like Notepad, I hit control alt and the letter N like a Nancy. So let's try that. Alt control N. Taskbar, untitled dash Notepad, edit type and text. There you go. It opened it up. See how easy that was? So I hope this helps.
