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
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.
2.
In the second step, right click on the
desktop of your computer system and make a new shortcut.
Right
click > New > Shortcut
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.
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”
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
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.
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.
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.
