I typically open MathTyppe from Word using the Ctrl-F1 keys. Recently the
same key strokes open a program called Brownstone which is not as fancy as
the program I paid for; it has much of the functionality missing from the
regular MathType. In the past, I uninstall all the software and reinstall it.



Is there a better way to go back to MathType?



How do I assign short cut keys to open the application?

Well, that depends. You didn't say which version of Word you're using
(which is a really important piece of information to know), but by
default Ctrl+F1 in Word 2003 opens the Task Pane, and in Word 2007, it
minimizes the Ribbon. Whatever, this makes me assume you assigned the
Ctrl+F1 key yourself (or someone did it for you).

The default shortcut key combination to open MathType from Word is
Ctrl+Alt+Q. Try that.

Again, it depends on which version of Word you're using. In Word 2003,
right-click on any toolbar, then click Customize. In the Customize
dialog, click Keyboard (at the bottom). Choose what you want to
customize, enter the shortcut keys, click Assign, then Close. In Word
2007, click the Office button, then click Word Options. Click the
Customize option on the left, then click the Customize button on the
right. From there it's the same as for Word 2003.
