Shortcut Key Any File or Folder

here's a very handy tip that not everyone knows.
you can create a shortcut key for any file or folder. then all you have to do is press CTRL ALT (assigned key) and the file or folder opens automatically.

you first have to create a shortcut for the item. then right click and go to properties. there is a spot for shortcut key; assign what you would like and hit OK (or apply). whalla! :) it's done.

i don't particularly like to clutter up my desktop with shortcuts so i put the shortcuts someplace on the start menu.

i have CTRL ALT N open up notepad, which i think is the most handy execution of this tip.
i also like CTRL ALT M for media player
and CTRL ALT D to open and play "whip it" by Devo
