This hidden shortcut will help you launch apps even faster. On Windows, search for an app that you use a lot, then right click on it, and pin it to your taskbar. On your taskbar, press and hold on the app and drag it all the way over to the left-hand side. This is position number one. To launch this app, press the Windows logo key together with the number one and check that out. That launches the app. You can use this same technique with any of the first ten apps on your taskbar. Here I want to launch the app in the fifth position. I’ll press the Windows logo key with number five and that too launches the app.
