    Display hotkeys for taskbar icons?


    Hello! As the title says, is there any way to display the corresponding hotkey on an icon on the taskbar? I'm referring specifically to those next to cortana and task-viewer. For example, when I'm using multiple applications and have to switch between them I sometimes open the wrong program or window simply because I can't tell at a glance what hotkey to use. In my case would it be possible to display a "1" over the File explorer, which is leftmost on my taskbar and so on for all the other icons where it is applicable?
