Command-O or Command-Down Arrow when an application/file is selected.

thanks for the reply...
however is their away I can set/make shortcuts for myself....
i.e. to lauch a program...? regardless as to what is currently selected?....
eg: "command+shift+S" would launch Safari....
or perhaps this ability only lies in the Window world..?

You can with the help of a 3rd party app.

I second the launchbar recommendation. In fact, after using it, you'll wonder if there is actually any other way to launch an application !

I third it. I read the subject line of this thread and came in for the specific purpose of recommending LaunchBar. It's just that good- period.

Here's a 4th for Launchbar. If you're a decent typist this is the fastest way to launch applications. You're always 2-4 keystrokes away from launching any application on your hard drive. Not only that but you can use it to launch documents and bookmarks. It's also a 'smart' application and learns from previous actions.
Apple should really incorporate this into the OS as a pro-feature.
