7 + Taskbar Numberer gives numbers to all my Windows open in the taskbar and makes it easy to switch tasks. This program allows me to open the running windows just by pressing Windows Key with the number keys. Normally I used to press Win+Tab to switch to a certain task in my running applications. It is undoubtedly a very useful Keyboard shortcut for task switching, but it becomes even more intricate when I have numerous applications running simultaneously on my system. 7+ Taskbar Numberer provides me a direct way of task switching. I downloaded the program in my system, and now I can see the numbers over all the applications in the taskbar. I just need to press Win+ the number, and the application will launch directly. When I have many applications opened in my system, I have a significant number of tray icons, and honestly saying it becomes quite clumsy for me to select a program. This is where 7+ Task Bar Numberer helps me. It adds numbers to all the visible tray icons and all the programs pinned in the taskbar.

Ctrl+Win logo key +number

This shortcut brings you to the last active program pinned to your taskbar.

Alt+Win key +number
