Great ShortCut Key - Code

[amerifax]

About one or two years ago Maximum PC or Smart Computer, only books I subscribe to, had an artical abot a short cut. System crasher, rebuiling and now I can't find artical.

It went some thing like this. In Registeer you would create a name with the extension.HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\. ( Not sure at all about code) just joging my memory.

It would exacute in the address bar (by the file name created in the Registery.

Thats all I got for clues. Here' hopping.

I have no clue as to what you are talking about specifically, but I would start by searching google for "registry edits", "registry hacks", and the like... Good luck.

This works in the "RUN". I need it to work in the "address bar".

Creating your Run Command Shortcuts by editing the registry is a pretty simple procedure. To begin launch the Registry Editor as you normally would?by typing Regedit.exe in the Run dialog box. Once the Registry Editor is up and running, navigate to following key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths

Once you open the App Paths key, you?ll see a whole set of subkeys, each titled after an executable file.

Note: Now, as you look through the list of existing Run Command Shortcuts, you?ll see several subkeys named after native Windows apps, such as Wordpad.exe (WordPad) and Iexplore.exe (Internet Explorer). The reason that some of the Windows native apps appear in the App Paths key is that their executable files are located in folders other than Windows or System32. For example, WordPad is located in the Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories folder, and Internet Explorer is located in the Program Files\Internet Explorer folder.

To create a Run Command Shortcut: for your favorite application,
1. right-click on the App Paths key and select the New | Key command.
2. give it a two to eight character name (Something that?s mnemonic or easy to associate)
