Quick Launch Hotkeys

A little used but often noticed feature of windows is the Quick Launch bar. This bar contains is somewhat useless because by the time your mouse is at the quick launch bar, you can just click on the start button and access all of your programs, not just a small subset of them.

In order to access the programs in the quick launch bar without using the mouse, there is a hotkey combination, Windows Key+ Number of icon.

This allows easy mouse-less access to a subset of programs on a computer without using a separate program such as launchy or Executor.
