I used to remember how to do this, use some sort of hotkey to open a second instance of a program that doesn't support it, for example windows media player 12. I have tried WIN+Shift+(number) to open it, but it just brings it to the front. I have accomplished this before, I can remember doing it. I want to listen to music while watching a video clip. I don't want to install the patch, or media player classic, because I know it is possible because I have done this very recently, I just cant remember how. Does anyone know the hotkey? Thank you.

You didn't accomplish getting WMP to open additional instances just by holding certain keys... WMP tries very heard to NOT allow multiple instances. See: http://superuser.com/questions/56753/run-multiple-instances-of-windows-media-player. There is no generic hotkey like you're suggesting. – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 Apr 27 '16 at 16:58

Not entirely a hotkey, but hold the Shift key and click the app in the taskbar.

2Just a heads-up: Windows Media Player doesn't seem to allow multiple instances. – Teaspoon Apr 27 '16 at 16:57
