What i mean is. Is it possible to make my application running at background pop up when CTRL + ALT + O key is pressed

Check out HotKeySet()

Look at GUISetAccelerators(), it's exactly what you need.

Not a scripted solution, but windows already let's you do that...right click...shortcut key.  I set a key for all my used apps and rapid fire open them

If the application is backgrounded, Accelerator wouldn't work would it?

Sorry - my mistake. 

You are right. Accelerators work only when application is active.

So right answer is really HotkeySet() as suggested above by someone ...

Is this you want?

#include <Misc.au3>

HotKeySet("{ESC}" , "_close")

While 1
    if _IsPressed("11") And _IsPressed("12") And _IsPressed("4F") Then
        MsgBox(0,0,"You Are Pressed CTRL + ALT + O")
    EndIf
Wend

Func _close()
    Exit
EndFunc

Hotstrings topic in example scripts might also be worth a look at.
