Creating Your Own Run Commands

If you are like me, you will use a few programs very frequently. One way to make them start faster is to give them their own Run command:
  1. Win+R to open the Run dialog
  2. Enter %windir% to open the Windows directory
  3. Alt+F W S to open the File menu, choose the New menu item, then the Shortcut menu item
  4. Go through the wizard to create a shortcut to the desired program
  5. The name you give the shortcut is what you type in the Run dialog to start the program

Run Commands For word

We can launch Microsoft Word application from run window by running the commandwinword
.
Run command for Microsoft word
Note that this command does not work from command line as winword.exe location is not added to the PATH environment variable. However, we can use the below command to open Word application from command prompt.

All Office applications can be opened directly from Windows Run. The command for Powerpoint application is powerpnt.
All Office applications can be opened directly from Windows Run. The command for Powerpoint application is powerpnt.
You can also open a ppt file directly from Run command ny specifying the file path. The command ‘powerpnt filepath’ also works. However we do not need to specify the application name to be used to open the file.  Windows automatically opens the right application based on the file extension.
These commands work from Windows command prompt also.
