Using Windows explorer, go to the file that executes a program (in this
case, oe.exe or something like that).  When you are on that executable
file, right-click your mouse.  This will open a submenu.  Select "create
shortcut" from this menu and press enter.  Now in that directory, a new
file will be created calling itself "shortcut to something.exe."  Copy this
file to your desktop using control plus v.

Now on the desktop, you just have to press enter on this icon.  You can
also create custom shortcut keys say, shift plus alt plus O to run the
program.  The details for this are given below......
    A fast way to access an application, folder, web-page or document is
    to create a shortcut and place it on the desktop. To activate the
    icon, double-click it, or select it and press Enter.


    To expose the desktop, press Windows-key + M (if the keyboard has
    Windows-keys), or Ctrl + Esc, Alt + M (if it does not).


Custom shortcut keys (CSKs)


    Custom shortcut keys (CSKs) are the prime Windows wormholes for
    eliminating complex key sequences and mouse manipulations. Custom
    shortcut keys are generally the fastest, most reliable way to launch
    an application or open a document, web-site or folder.


    Over 350 CSKs are available, including: F1 through F12; one, two or
    three modifier keys + F1 through F12; two modifier keys + any key
    except those listed below; three modifier keys + any key except those
    listed below. The following keys cannot be used: Esc, Tab, Spacebar,
    Enter, Backspace, Delete, Print Screen, Pause, Windows-key or
    Application-key.


How to create a CSK

    1       Create (or locate) a shortcut for an application, folder, web
    page or document.

    2       Paste the shortcut icon on the desktop.

    3       Open the Properties dialog by right-clicking the icon and
    picking "Properties," or by selecting the item and pressing Alt +
    Enter.

    4       Go to the Shortcut page tab.

    5       In the "Shortcut key" edit field, press your hotkey.

    6       Click "OK" or press Enter.
