How to Create Your Own Customized Run Commands

Create Customized Run commands


The Run command on Microsoft Windows operating system allows you to directly open an application or document with just a single command instead of navigating to its location and double-clicking the executable icon. However, it only works for some of the inbuilt Windows programs such asCommand prompt (cmd), Calculator (calc) etc.
So, have you ever wondered how to create your own customized Run commandsfor accessing your favorite programs, files and folders? Well, read on to find out the answer.

CREATING THE CUSTOMIZED RUN COMMAND


Let me take up an example of how to create a customized run command for opening the Internet explorer. Once you create this command, you should be able to open the Internet explorer just by typing ie in the Run dialog box. Here is how you can do that.
  1. Right-click on your Desktop and select New -> Shortcut.
  2. You will see a “Create Shortcut” Dialog box as shown below Create customized Run command
  3.  Click on “Browse”, navigate to: Program Files -> Internet Explorer from your Root drive (usually C:\) and select “iexplore” as shown in the above figure and click on “OK”. 
  4.  Now click on “Next” and type any name for your shortcut. You can choose any name as per your choice; this will be your customized “Run command”. In this case I name my shortcut as “ie“. Click on “Finish”.
  5.  You will see a shortcut named ie on your desktop. All you need to do is just copy this shortcut and paste it in your Windows folder (usually “C:/Windows”). Once you have copied the shortcut onto your Windows folder, you can delete the one on your Desktop.
  6.  That’s it! From now on, just open the Run dialog box, type ie and hit Enter to open the Internet Explorer.

In this way you can create customized Run commands for any program of your choice. 
Say ff for Firefox, ym for Yahoo messenger, wmp for Windows media player and so on. To do this, when you click on “Browse” in the Step-3, just select the target program’s main executable (.exe) file which will usually be located in the “C:\Program Files” folder. Give a simple and short name for this shortcut as per your choice and copy the shortcut file onto the Windows folder as usual. Now just type this short name in the Run dialog box to open the program. 
I hope this post has helped you create your own Run commands and use them in your daily life. Drop your comments.
