Thanks a lot for your useful tip. I am like very much keyboard shortcuts and your tip was useful and inspiring. I used way a little bit different than yours to achieve the same result and I would like to shear it with you.
Yes, but the properties option does not look the same under a folder and there is no short cut field…. I have been using this method to create keyboard shortcuts since last years; but there is an issue with it — it takes atleast seconds delay each time. Sometimes even longer. I dont know why but, I dont like this delay. I am trying to find a better approach. Do you have any other options that does not wait long before launching the program?
I too have found the delay to be way too long to make the windows shortcuts of any use. Does anyone know of a solution? Try putting your shortcuts in "Quick Launch" Toolbar instead of a shortcut on desktop.
