Creating 'App paths'...

Expand Post »
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))
