How to launch programs 'quickly' from "Start"

The start menu in windows give us a simplest way to access our favorite programs and most used programs and favorite folders very simple way. Even u need not to use mouse for that. Just by simple Win key you can launch u r program.

Here is some interesting thing about "searching in start menu" for u r favorite program. When u r searching for microsoft word in start menu in windows-7, you probably type "word" or to open media player u may search "media player" or something ...


But here is a simple way that u can also search in abbreviated way , what i mean to say is if you are searching for "microsoft word" in start menu's search box, u can type as "w m " (with out quotes) or to search "windows media player" you can use "w m p". To search Internet Explorer" you can type "i e". That's it...simple.!
