In order to assign a keyboard shortcut, you need to right-click on the shortcut icon and choose Properties. Then on the General tab, you need to click on the Shortcut key box and press on the key combination you want to use, let say Windows adds Ctrl+Alt to the key assignment. Then you need to click on OK to in order to save your changes. Then try to assign the key combination Ctrl+Alt+Shift+C to the Windows Calculator within Windows, to pop up the calculator instantly.
