Create Windows 8 keyboard shortcuts for you Apps

Don't drag your mouse around metro like an idiot, set your shortcut keys. Here's how -


1. Find your app in the Start Menu folder location:
      C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs

2. Right-Click your apps shortcut, click Properties, select the Shortcut field and enter a key combination.
      Like <ctrl> <alt> <letter>


What to do if you have a shortcut for your app in Metro but not in the Start Menu folder ? 


1. Un-Pin the icon from Metro










2. Find the apps executable (usually in C:\Programs Files...), and pin it to Start again.
