Find the shortcut to calculator in the Start menu, right click and select "Properties". You can enter any shortcut you want in the "Shortcut Key" field.

This is the solution. I like Ctrl-Alt-C, personally. – Chris W. Rea Aug 21 '09 at 20:48

Well if you put it in your quicklaunch bar, the items there automatically get a shortcut (well the first 10 anyway) of Windows + #

Thanks, I know that, but I prefer to have a "clean" taskbar. – miloshadzic Aug 21 '09 at 20:46

Not a true shortcut key combination, but a comfortable way to do it anyway. win-key+r [for the run window], type calc and press enter.

Might seems like a bit of work relatively for a shortcut, but if you're not completely rubbish at typing, it's easy and quick (and if you use the method for other programs you really get used to it).

I could do the same thing just pressing the Win key and typing calc. – miloshadzic Aug 21 '09 at 20:49
Yes, but if you have other programs that contain with those letters and especially if you use them more, you might find yourself loading the wrong app. – Xenorose Aug 21 '09 at 20:58

I know I sound like a fanboy, but I haven been using Microsoft keyboard for 9 years. I know it doesn't solve your problem in software, but all MS keyboard have a dedicate calculator button which I found very useful from time to time.

If you are frequently using the calculator, here is a one step keyboard shortcut.

Click on start- Programs- Accesories- calculator. Right click on calculator- properties(left click). Left click on shortcut. left click on space in front of shortcut keys. press F8. Then click on okay.

But please ensure first that the F8 key on keyboard is free and has not been assigned any other task.
