WinNumTip is a Windows utility developed and published by Ivan Ivon, currently available in version 2.2.0, with one version listed in the catalog. The software serves a focused, practical purpose: it shows the Win+number keyboard shortcuts associated with applications pinned to the Windows taskbar. On Windows systems, each pinned taskbar application can be launched or brought into focus by holding the Windows key and pressing the number that corresponds to the application's position on the taskbar, but remembering which number belongs to which program is not always easy. WinNumTip addresses this by displaying numbered tips directly over the taskbar buttons while the Windows key is held down. As soon as the user presses and holds the Windows key, the numbered indicators appear above the pinned icons, making each Win+number shortcut easy to identify at a glance, and the tips disappear when the key is released. This behavior makes the built-in taskbar shortcuts easier to discover, learn, and use on a daily basis, particularly for users who rely on keyboard-driven workflows and want to switch between pinned applications without reaching for the mouse. The tool falls into the category of Windows desktop utilities, specifically taskbar enhancement and keyboard shortcut assistance software, and it is relevant for anyone who pins multiple applications to the taskbar and wants a visual reminder of their numeric positions. Because the numbered tips appear only while the Windows key is held, the utility integrates naturally into the existing taskbar experience rather than permanently altering the desktop's appearance. WinNumTip version 2.2.0 represents the current release of this single-purpose tool from Ivan Ivon, delivering a straightforward solution that turns the Win+number shortcut system from something users must memorize into something they can simply see on screen whenever they need it.
