How do you create an alias to type into the run box? Example: ma.exe instead of C:\program files\myapp\myappexe.
You need to edit the registry and create a new string and sub key for the program.

The last refinement of my googling produced an article at winguides.com. Thanks, rev
thats a good idea Piaqt... so does it come down to editing the registry?? any quick way?
Thank you, yes, and no.
There is a very simple way. No need to hack the registry :D
Just create a shortcut to the app and place the shortcut in the Windows folder.
Can you append switches to the path?
I think so, though I'm not sure. It's quick, so try it and see :DQuote:
