Creating 'App paths'...
![]() |
To create an app path,so you can run an application from the Run dialog box you need to:
1. Run regedit and go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths
2. Create a new key with whatever you want to use as your run command
IE: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\whatever.exe
3. In the key folder that you created,create a new string,call it 'Path' and modify the value to point the specific folder of your executable your running.
IE: C:\ProgramFiles\whatever
4. Use the default string and modify it's value to point to the executable you want to run.
I didnt realize just how many "App paths" i had!!! (I suppose i could delete the ones i wont ever use (to clean the reg))
