You probably knew that you can create shortcuts in Windows 7 to launch your programs, but did you know that you can start the taskbar programs using the Windows and number keys? If you didn’t, you should print the list of Windows 7 shortcuts.
The first program on your taskbar will be assigned to the shortcut Windows key + 1, the second program can be launched via Windows key + 2, and so on. If you hold shift and then use that shortcut you can open a new instance of the program that is pinned to your taskbar.

Hi,
These shortcuts are helpful. But I added dreamweaver into taskbar and tried to open another instance but wasn’t open.
Do you know why??
abhishek, Adobe Dreamweaver does not support that. You can open a new instance when you hold down shift and click on the icon, but I just tried it and apparently Dreamweaver does not allow you to do it.
