You can actually create your own as well. Right-mouse-click on the shortcut used to start the application and select PROPERTIES and on the SHORTCUT tab, you will see a field labeled SHORTCUT KEY. Put the cursor in this box and type the key sequence that you want to use. As long as another shortcut/program isn't using this key sequence you will be able to open the app just by the key sequence.
For example, I have NotePad in windows mapped to CTRL+ALT+N and the Calculator to CTRL+ALT+C |

And even though it isn't free, PCMAG has a little tool called HotkeyDetective
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,4149,1898,00.asp that will search through your system and list all of the currently used shortcut key combinations and the programs that they open. |
