Windows 10 Keyboard Shortcut to Calculator?


On all my Windows PCs I do a 'Shortcut key' for calculator to open with Ctrl+Shift+C:


Windows 10 Calculator Properties, Shortcut tab


I can't figure out how to do it on Windows 10. There are no right-click properties.




Windows 10 Calculator right-click



Answer



Option 1



  • File Explorer, type this (shell shortcut) in location bar shell:AppsFolder, right-click Calculator, Create shorcut, Yes

  • Right-click new Calculator shortcut on Desktop, Properties, there is our Shortcut key field/entry!


Option 2



  • Go to %WinDir%\System32, right-click calc.exe, Create Shortcut, Yes. Then step 2 above


If I placed the shortcut in %WinDir%\System or Documents it seemingly wouldn't work!? It was flakey even moving back to Desktop, but after I set the shortcut to something else, hit Apply, then back to Ctrl+Shift+C it'd work :P
