Create Your Own 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 it’s location and double-clicking the executable icon. like Command prompt (cmd), Calculator (calc),Notepad (notepad) etc.

So, Here i m Going to tell you how to create your own customized Run commands for accessing your favorite programs, files and folders?

Creating the Customized Run Command

Let me take up an example of how to create a customized run command for opening the "Mozilla Firefox". Once you create this command, you should be able to open the "Mozilla Firefox" just by typing “mf” (without quotes) in the Run dialog box.

Follow The Steps:

1. Right click on your Desktop and select New -> Shortcut.

2. You will see a “Create Shortcut” Dialog box as shown below .

3. Click on “Browse”, navigate to: Program Files -=--> Mozilla Firefox from your Root drive (usually C:\) and select “firefox(.exe file) 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 “mf”. Click on “Finish”.

5. You will see a shortcut named “mf” on your desktop. 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 and type mf and Enter to open the Mozilla FireFox

In this way you can create customized Run commands for any program of your choice. 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.

"When you look at the Google Calendar icon at the top of your browser window, it will no longer always display 31 but will instead change to reflect the current day of the month.
