Windows 10: Is it possible to assign WIN+SHIFT+S to a desktop/taskbar shortcut?

Hello.Im using Onenote and every now and then I use the snipping tool. In windows 10 I needed two clics first in low right corner, second in snipping icon. In windows 11 also two clics I have had to put a snipping tool shortcut in taskbar because default snipping icon in taskbar has gone.I would like to make a desktop/taskbar icon so that when you click it, the keys WIN+SHIFT+S are pressed to make a snip in one clic. Is it possible?Thank you.

Normally, it will only allow you to create a shortcut on your desktop but not in your Taskbar. To assist you with your concern, you can follow these steps to circumvent it:

• Send the screensaver shortcut on your desktop.
• Right-click on the screensaver shortcut and click-on properties.
• Paste the following information in the Target option under Shortcut C:\Windows\explorer.exe "C:\Windows\System32\scrnsave.scr"
• Hit Apply.
• Hit OK.

Let us know how it goes.
