This small trick tells how to launch any program from the Run command (win key + r)
 
This is a registry hack for doing the same thing. It doesn’t need any shortcut thing. Do this at your own risk..


  1. First open the Registry Editor using type regedit in the Run.
  2. Then Navigate to
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE –> SOFTWARE –> Microsoft –> Windows –> CurrentVersion –> App Paths
  3. Now create a new key in there as
    [shortcut name].exe (dont forget the .exe extension otherwise it won’t work)
  4. Modify [right click] the Default Value to the [path to the program (e.g C:\Program Files\My Program\Me.exe)] of the program.
  5. Alternatively you can add a Path string and also set that up (optional only if you know the values you can see the path name from the properties of the program).

Now just typing the in the Run command should run the program.
