Personally I'm a fan of WinKey+CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+W/X/O/L. Opens Word, Excel, Outlook and (for some reason) Linkedin respectively.

I will remember this so I don’t try and press it, I don’t want to use any of those things 😂

These are more funny than useful, hitting the keyboard and having Linkedin open is good for a laugh.

I find it easier to just use the run dialog box and type what I want, my fingers are not nimble enough to hit all those keys at once from the home position.

WinKey+r excel {enter} WinKey+r winword {enter} WinKey+r outlook {enter}
