The Start menu
is great tool for finding/running programs, but its multiple levels of folders can be time consuming to navigate. If you are using a certain program frequently, you are a good typist, you should set a keyboard shortcut for it so that you can start the program without taking your hands off the keyboard, because sometimes using a mouse actually slow your tasks down.
To set a program keyboard shortcut :
- Click the Start menu, and then click All Programs. Choose the program that you want to start with a keyboard shortcut (i.e. Internet Explorer), right click and then click Properties.
Note: This can also be implemented on another applications such as Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Outlook, etc. which you frequently used.
