Your own Run Command for any app!!!

Yes! You can make your own Run Command (program shortcut) to run a program or a document directly. Now you can easily click on Start button to open Run box and type the name of your favorite program or document to open it directly!

To use this feature, you will need to be logged into your computer
  with administrative rights.

Just follow the given steps:

• Click Start button and type regedit in Run option and then press Enter. ( If run option is not available, type run in the "Search program and files" and hit enter)

• Now the name of this new key is the run command corresponding to your file, irrespective of your file name and type. The important part is that the name of this key (which will be the run command corresponding to the file you want to execute) should not include blank spaces, can include the combination of upper and lower case but should always end with .exe i.e. if you want the run command to be aPPle, then you should name the key as: aPPle.exe irrespective of the file type you want to execute. REMEMBER : ending the keyname with .exe is required even if your file is not an exe and is any other file type like a jpeg image or a .doc document and if your file name is boy, it does not mean that you have to name the key as boy.exe, instead it can be anything, it is the command that you will type in run command box to execute the file named boy, so you can also name the key as girl.exe!

In the present case i will use UndergroundAccess as run command to execute a png file, Underground Access placed on my desktop. So we begin with naming the key as shown below:

•  Now go to view in menu bar and click on refresh or simply press F5.

That's it! Now you can close the registry editor and open run and type the command name to execute your file! Simple, isn't it? If it doesn't work, you can try restarting  your system. If still there is a problem, check all the steps because it works as it does!
