Create a Custom Keyboard Shortcut to Open a Favorite Link in Internet Explorer?


Well, you may have thousands of links in the favorites in Internet Explorer but among them you might open a few every day. Like for example, Yahoo, Gmail or News sites like CNN or Some video sites like Youtube, Hulu or Netflix. Have you ever wondered to open these sites in another tab without going through the links by just using a Keyboard Shortcut? Here is a solution!
So, how to create a custom keyboard shortcut to open a favorite website link in IE?

Expand the favorites in the side to view the links. Right click on the link that you want to create Keyboard Shortcut for and click Properties.


Click on the Shortcut Key box and click Ctrl + Alt + Key of your choice. I have used this to create keyboard shortcuts for web pages like,
Hulu – Ctrl + Alt + H
Netflix – Ctrl + Alt + N
Gmail – Ctrl + Alt + G
Yahoo – Ctrl + Alt + Y
CNN – Ctrl + Alt + C
You can try this in all IE versions. This is done in IE8.
