pls check the download link, antivirus program runs wild if you click it.
If you create a shortcut to it (Right click –> Create Shortcut) and place it on your desktop, then assign a keyboard shortcut to it (Right click –> Properties –> And assign a shortcut [I used Ctrl + Alt + H]) and then hide that shortcut so can just use the keyboard short. Much easier.
