Create customized run command

Have you ever wondered where does our operating system picks the run command.

We simply write "cmd" in the run dialogue box and enter and "booom" command prompt shows up
We simply write "winword" in the run dialogue box and enter and "booom" MS-Word shows up.
We simply write "osk" in the run dialogue box and enter and "booom" On screen keyboard shows up.

Now here is a trick where you will decide what to open and what keyword do you want to use for that to get opened.

Steps:

1) Create the shortcut of any file and rename it as per your wish. Because this is what you have to type subsequently in the run dialogue box.

2) Paste that short cut to this address "c:\windows\"

3) Type the keyword (renamed name that you have give above) and press enter.

Enjoy.....
