It's really very simple. Several methods.
1. Heres one to start on youy probably most used programs.
Right click start button/ choose open/ and enter your C:\windows\Start
menu programs.
2. Then pick an application, right click on it and choose properties, there click the shortcut Tab then go to the box that says Shortcut key. Lets say you choose MS paint.
3. In the shortcut key box hold down either ctrl+shift or ctrl+alt, while holding them down touch P [for paint, or however you want to remember it] and the let up on all keys.
4. CTRL+SHIFT+P should stay, then and most important click 'Apply" and
Bingo.
Try it and paint will open.
When changing shortcut keys, 1st clear the box, then click apply,
[VERY IMPORTANT] as it wipes it from memory. Then reset another.

Note: Some keyboards have a Windows key, and some don't. If yours doesn't, you can create one using the Keyboard Remap Kernel Toy. go to
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/contents/powertoys
/w95keybdremap/default.asp
and click the Windows 95 Keyboard Remap link. Once you've downloaded
and installed this utility, open the Control Panel, Double-click Keyboard
and select the Remap tab. Under Right-Hand Side, select the key you want
to transform--such as Right Alt--in the left-hand box.
Then, in the right-hand box, select Windows. Click OK, and your Right
Alt key now functions as a Windows key.
Any time you're using Explorer's single- or dual-pane view in Details mode, you can adjust column widths to view the complete text in every column. Simply press Ctrl++ (plus sign on the numeric keypad). This tip also works with many simple programs and applets that rely on the Explorer window as the basis of their interface. (Note: You'll have to expand the window borders to accommodate the new window size.)
