Quick Launch in Windows XP saves your Time!
 

Quick Launch in Windows XP is a great productivity feature. The frequestly accessed application's shortcut or copy version can be placed here. Lets say if you access more 10 applications in a day quite frequestly, it make sense to have this feature utlised and it saves your time.

You don't have to go through start - Programs- app directory etc...

another great way to quickly access frequently used programs is with this program: Hotkey Helper
With it, you can set practically any keystroke to do certain tasks. for example:

F11 for me will open firefox
F10 opens winamp
F9 i set to whichever videogame i'm trying to play through
F8 opens my storage drive
Ctrl+Space play/pause all media
Ctrl+up/down turns system volume up or down

and the list goes on for me. i haven't hit my start button in months.

I one of those keyboards with button that open specific apps but they are ones I never use like messenger. Do be specific it is a Micorsoft optical desktop keyboard and it has button across the left hand side and on the top.

Does anyone know how to change what programs these buttons open?
