If you use Visual Studio often, you probably pinned it to the task bar so you can quickly access it. Here is a tip for opening Visual Studio from the task bar using the keyboard.
First, count the position of Visual Studio in the task bar. Mine is in position #10.

Hold down the Windows Key + Alt + # of the item. On my system, this is Windows Key + Alt + 10. Then use the arrow keys to select the desired project.

Use this technique any time you want to launch Visual Studio from the Task Bar using the keyboard.
Enjoy!
