Quickly launch program?

[jst0ney]

Is there a way in XP to create a keyboard shortcut so I can quickly launch a program? ie maybe creating windowskey+C to launch the calculator.

Create a shorcut, open the properties of the shortcut, enter a letter in the shortcut key field. it will become CTRL + ALT + C for example

this works when the shortcut is on the desktop, but stops working as soon as I move it off the desktop...

any way to make it work even when it's not on the desktop?

move it into your start menu. you know, under programs and such, as long as the shortcut exists, it will work, you just need to not move it. so if u want u can create a folder somewhere hidden for shortcuts only, and that way they are out of the way, but you can still take advantage of the shortcut keys.
