Apparently in their spare time, Microsoft employees still work on techie projects. These projects are called “Community prototypes.” The first such prototype, from Office Labs, is called Speed Launch.

Then, whenever they want to access a shortcut, simply press Windows-C and type the shortcut name…and voila! There you go. You are also able to use the program to open multiple items with the same name. Simply give the items the same name in the “naming stage” of the process, and when prompted to replace or merge the files, select merge. That way, when you select that file name from the bull’s eye, any files given that name will open for you.
