Customise keyboard shortcuts using windows in built feature !

In my earlier posts i have mentioned the list of default keyboard shortcuts in windows(click here to view),and told about a software named WINKEY(click here to learn more about the software) which will create your custom keyboard shortcuts.The software can build the shortcuts for both an application or for some specifc folder path.The trick i am going to explain, can create keyboard shortcut only for applications . But still this trick is very handy as it can be used without software in couple of minutes.Now let us do it !



STEP-1 ]
Browse to the application's "dot EXE" file (which opens the software when double clicked) , you can browse to it directly from hard disk(the place it is installed , which is by default c:/ProgramFiles) or go to START -> ALL PROGRAMS and then browse to the application's EXE file (which opens the software when double clicked). I am taking mozilla firefox as an example.

STEP -2 ] A window will pop-up like as follows :



Click on Shortcut tab in the top. Then press your desired key-combination under "shortcut key" area.click on apply to save it.You can change the way of opening of application which can be maximized or minimized also.
Keep Visiting for more tricks !
