Tres London sends us this tidbit: Want to access any program from the run command line (Start>Run or Windows key + r)? Just open up your system32 folder (C:Windows\System32 or C:\WinNT\system32) and make a shortcut (Let's just call it "cool"). Then tell the shortcut to point to whatever program you want to run (see the example below). Then go to the run command line and type "cool". Voila! Examples: Target: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla\mozilla.exe" Target: "C:\Program Files\Mozilla\mozilla.exe" http://google.com Target: "C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache\Apache.exe" Thanks, Tres!
