Time is money so every click of your mouse is costly. Since you don’t want to endlessly waste time working with Windows. Fortunately, with this computer tip of the day you can stop doing so.
Did you know that you can launch programs in your taskbar directly from your keyboard without ever touching your mouse?
Working with Windows
Your Windows taskbar can serve as a quick launch bar if you populate it with the programs you use daily. While you can easily click on them to open them when necessary, a faster way of launching this software is by using certain keyboard combinations. This is easy because every program to the right of your start button has its own numerical shortcut (the first program is “1,” the second “2,” up through 10, which is “0”). By pressing the Windows key and the number of the program you want to open, you open it.
In a similar way, you can quickly launch another instance (e.g. another Chrome browser along side of the one you’re already using) of the same program in a similar way. All you must do is hold down the shift button and then use the quick-launch keyboard trick again. Now you’ll have a new, clean version of the software open along side of the one you’ve already opened.
