Making your own run command

Interested in making your own run command? Here is the trick on how to make your own run command to run an application or open a file.

  1. Start -> run -> regedit
  2. go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths
  3. Create a sub-key with the name that you want to be your run command
  4. Select that sub key, in the right-pane double-click (default) and type the full path to whichever file of application that you want to open
    (e.g. C:\WINDOWS\PCHealth\HelpCtr\Binaries\MSConfig.exe)
  5. Exit the registry

Now your run command is ready for use. Just open the run dialog box, type the command and enter. The application will run. Note: Before you make any changes to the registry don’t forget to back it up.
