Setting up keyboard macros

[FlightSimBoy]

Hey, I was wondering how I set up some macros for my keyboard. I would like to know how to open up programs, and maybe even type something I always type. Do I need a separate program to do this with, or does Vista have something like this built in?

Right click the shortcut to the program, in one of the boxes it says 'short cut key'. There you go!
