I'd rather not install software to make this happen, since its possible with just windows 10. Thanks for your answer though.

Hey Kars, you are right. There is the built-in option to define hotkeys for programs’ shortcuts, however: 1) it only works for shortcuts 2) the shortcut should be located under Windows\Start Menu\Programs to work. The advantage of using AHK is that you can define hotkeys for any files or folder on your PC, and 1) it doesn’t need to be necessarily a shortcut file 2) doesn’t need to be located in the Programs folder under Start Menu. Please correct me if I am wrong. Thanks!
