Shortcut for a shortcut - create one

We are all aware of shortcuts in our PC but you can create a shortcut for a shortcut. Why would you want one?

Let us take for example you are in word and want to go to Photographs file. You need to minimize Word, open My Computer, select the drive with the Photograph file in it & click the Photograph file.

That is a lot of work.

It is so much easier if you create a combination of keys to open the folder. How to do that:- First using explorer go to the drive with the folder. When there create a Desktop shortcut of the file using Context Magic or something similar. Now please note this only works using Desktop Icons. When you have the Icon on your Desktop Right-click and select Properties.

A Window will open giving you information. You will see that the Key says None (Do not bother trying to delete it), click on that box and type the key combination you wish (As you will see from the illustration I choose Cltr+Alt+P ), then click Apply.

Now whatever program I am in and want to view my photographs, I just press my combination and there they are on the screen.
