You can make shortcuts to hammer and model viewer.
Right-click on the Source SDK item on the Tools tab in Steam.
1.. Select Create desktop shortcut.
2.. Add -runhammer to the end of the steam.exe command line.
For example: C:\Program Files\Valve\Steam\Steam.exe -applaunch
211 -runhammer
3.. Rename the desktop shortcut to something appropriate, such as "Hammer
Editor".
This has the added benefit of actually launching the SDK Launcher before
Hammer, making sure it is the latest version.
Note: Shortcuts for Model Viewer and FacePoser can be created by following
the same procedure and replacing -runhammer with one of these command line
arguments: -runmodelviewer or -runfaceposer.
