SHort Cut to open an APP

Dan-Baer · 06-10-2008, 04:32 PM

I am trying to assign a shortcut to an application, to open an application without using the mouse, just the keyboard. For example MS Word. What I have done is to go to Word. Rt click on the icon, choose properties then the shortcut tab then assign a shortcut such as Cntrl Alt W. I then have to give the permissions Etc. It does not work!

AM I missing something? Any other ideas on how to open Office applications using only a hot key(s)?
