How to create custom RUN commands

I am very "keyboard" friendly. Given an option to do a task using keyboard or a mouse, i'll prefer the former.
And that is why, this post happened. I found a very nice and clean way to create my own custom RUN commands.


Few handy Run commands that i assume will be known to all of you are notepad,mspaint,winword,powerpnt or opening your drive using C: or D: etc in the RUN box.


But what if i want to define my own command. Here is a way to do this!


1) Right click on the desktop and create a new shortcut. The following window will appear.



2) Browse for the .exe file that you want to create the shortcut for. I created shortcut for photoshop by 

    selecting "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS4\Photoshop.exe"

3) Click next and it will prompt you to enter shortcut name. I typed "ps" for photoshop and clicked finish.

4) A shortcut will be created right there on your desktop . Now copy the shortcut file to C:\Windows .

    You can remove the shortcut on the desktop.

5) Now all you have to do is go to Run and type "ps" and Photoshop is all yours.

Happy reading!
