If you don't use the number keys on the numeric keypad, you
can use them as single-click keyboard shortcuts for launching
your 10 favorite apps. Start by pressing the Num Lock key if
it isn't already on. Next, right-click on an existing program
shortcut and choose Properties. Open the Shortcut tab. Click
once inside the Shortcut Key field, press the number key that
you want to associate with the program, then click on OK. Repeat
the steps for each app. For Internet Explorer, you'll have to
make a shortcut to the Desktop icon first, then follow the same
steps using the new shortcut. If your Num Lock key isn't turned
on by default, check your system's BIOS setup for a Num Lock
default setting.
