Hi, Harry,. I am probably 50/50. I have several programs pinned to my taskbar and use the built-in hot keys to start them. But, many times, I will use the text box.

Hi all, I'm someone who has used hot keys to open programs, up till now. But windows has had the text box, for sometime now, so, I thought about just typing in the search box for a program, then press enter to start the program, (these days, also called an app). So, I'm conducting a poll. What do you all do these days? Do you: 1. still use a hot key to start programs? 2. Do you type the name of the program in the windows search box, then press enter to start it? Harry VICUG-L is the Visually Impaired Computer User Group List.
