"Right-click" on any chosen shortcut and select it's "Properties" page.

On the "Shortcut" tab, in the "Shortcut Key" box, assign your
shortcut-key-combination there.

Pressing *only* on a letter will give you an entry of :

CTRL + ALT + [KEY]

....but, for other choices of keys, you need to press the full combination,
i.e.;

SHIFT + ALT + [KEY]
CTRL + SHIFT + [KEY]

....if the key-combination is not been used on another shortcut already, it
will remain typed into the box, after you have released all the keys -
Then, press [Apply] or [OK] to save and exit the shortcut's properties
page.

Pressing the key-combination you just assigned, should then activate the
resource targeted in the associated shortcut.

The "whole process" is: write a program in the programming language of your
choice, to display a pop-up message. Then create a shortcut to the program.
Then assign a key to the shortcut.


Or, if the message is fixed (ie never changes) edit a small text file and
put the message in it, then create shortcut to the file - NotePad will then
display it, but not in a popup.


Or, create a shortcut to cmd.exe (**) then edit the shortcut's properties to
tell it to run the command "echo" with the text you want displayed, so eg
the command in the shortcut would be something like

%SystemRoot%\system32\cmd.exe /K echo hello everyone!

This will display the message in a command window.


** navigate through folders until you find

C:\WINDOWS\system32 and in there find cmd.exe

Right-click it and choose 'send to >' ... 'desktop (create shortcut)'
