Hey all! How are you doing? I just recalled those pending shortcut post. This is the third post in this series of shortcuts for applications, etc. for your computers, simple, short ways to little quicken some things. So today's topic of shortcuts is Media Player, like WinAmp, Media Player Classic and VLC Media Player. What made me to post the shortcuts of Media Players?
