Taskbar Keyboard Shortcuts
• On Windows 7, you can press the Windows key along with a number to quickly launch the corresponding application on your taskbar.
• For example, WinKey+1 launches the first application pinned to your taskbar, while WinKey+2 launches the second one.
• If the program is already open, pressing this shortcut will switch to it. If the program has multiple windows open, pressing this shortcut will switch between them – it behaves just like clicking the taskbar icon.

Start Menu Search
• You can use the Start menu’s search feature to launch a program with just a few key presses. First, press the Windows key on your keyboard.
• Next, start typing part of a program’s name – you can start typing immediately after pressing the Windows key. Typing a program’s full name, such as Mozilla Firefox will work, but you can also type part of a program’s name to launch it even faster.

Custom Shortcut Key
• If you launch an application frequently, you can assign a custom keyboard shortcut to it.
• First, locate the application in your start menu or on your desktop, right-click its shortcut, and select Properties.
• Click the Shortcut key box and type your desired keyboard shortcut. Press the keyboard shortcut you define here to launch the application from anywhere in Windows.

Run Dialog
• You can also use the Run dialog to quickly launch applications. Open it by pressing WinKey+R.
• In the Run dialog, type the name of a program’s .exe file and press Enter to launch it. For example, type firefox and press Enter to launch Firefox or type chrome and press Enter to launch Chrome.

• After installing it, press Alt+Space anywhere in Windows and the Launchy window will appear (you can change this shortcut in Launchy’s preferences, if you like.)
• Type a search and press Enter to launch an application, open a file, or visit a website. It’s smarter than the Start menu in several ways – for example, typing ffx into Launchy will match Firefox.
