that Microsoft
Windows is the
most widely used operating
system in all
parts of the world. Apart from being simple to use, it is quite rich in
features as well, which makes our lives quite easy.
The Run
command available on Windows operating system is one such power packed feature that
lets you to open a document or an application instantly with the help of just 1 command. So, rather than clicking several icons or
using multiple commands, you can use the Run command to open any program or
document instantly. For that you will need to Create Run Commands for any
software of your Choice which you use Frequently.
But, do you know how to Create Run Commands of your Own? Well,
it is really easy, which involves just few steps. Through this article, I will
help you understand how to access your favorite applications by creating custom Run commands.
OPEN RUN COMMAND:
Before I show you how to create your own Run commands, let’s
take a quick look on how to open Run Command. First of all, you need to open
the Run window by just pressing the Windows Key along with the R key, i.e.
Windows + R. Now, you have to type the name of the program that you desire to
open up or execute. Unfortunately, not all programs can be accessed through
this method. So, let me show you how to create Run commands that do not come as
inbuilt commands.
STEPS TO CREATE RUN COMMANDS OF
YOUR OWN
Step 1. The first
step is to select the software or application for which you want to make custom
Run command. For example, let us consider Google Chrome as the example here. Remember, you
can choose any application other than which is already there in the Run command
Step 2. In the second step, right click on the desktop
of your computer system and make a new shortcut.
Right click >
New > Shortcut
step 3. As you select the Shortcut option in the 2nd
Step, it will open up a dialog box. And, the dialog box will ask you path of
the application or software for which you want to create the Run command.
Step 4. Now, you need to browse through the files and
choose the one that shows “chrome.exe”. Well, it is quite obvious that all the
executable files can be found in the C drive (or wherever the Operating System
has been installed), inside the folder “Program Files”. For example, “C:\Program Files\Google Chrome\chrome.exe”
Step 5. Once you are done with Step number 4, just
click on “Next” button and simply provide a relative name to
that shortcut. Remember, the same name will be used later in the Run command.
For example, “GC” for Google Chrome
Step 6. Now, click on the “Finish” button. Once
it is done, an icon related to that application or software will show up
on your computer’s screen. It means that the process of creating shortcut has
been done successfully.
Step 7. In this step, just cut and paste that recently
made shortcut icon into your computer’s root drive, in its Windows folder.
For example, C:\
Windows , Make sure you are the administrator of the computer or have its
password.
Step 8. Now, you are done with the set up and can run
the application through Run Command. Just go to Run and enter the keyword “GC”, and Google Chrome
will begin executing.
