There are already multiple hotkey launchers. Take a look on Sofpedia or download.com.

I use this for stuff I do incessantly. In my case, it's run sync.exe to flush my disk buffers to hard drives.  Since I have USB docking stations it makes sense in my case.

If you want to have some fun I'd suggest you download AutoHotKey_L and make one yourself.

Something like you want is easy if you hard code the programs in as below. The "DesktopGroup" stuff limits the hotkeys to when the Desktop is the active window. That avoids interfering with other programs.  The "+" sign before the function key means you are holding down the Shift key. See AutoHotkey_L help for particulars. Make sure you end every list of statements for each hotkey with "return" or else it will drop through and execute everything listed below it.

You might want to use something other than function keys since they're likely to conflict with other apps.  Experimentation is best. This is just to get you started.  Also see:

It's already been done ad infinitum. So the popular freeware download sites.

This one looks like what you want:

By the look of the icon I'd say it's an AHK program.  Seems very straight-forward by the write-up. :)
