    Run question

    When you use the windows run command on the start up bar there are a few programs that have their own shortcuts. Instead of typing in the full path or browsing for it, some programs you only need to enter a shortcut.

    Examples
    internet explorer - iexplore
    icq - icq
    calculator - calc
    etc.

    Is there any way to make my program have a shortcut like this?

    the above two are correct, but a good tip would be to make sure the EXE name itself is a logic one and not longer than eight characters because in the RUN window, if u dont include the " character around the path name, it will be read in DOS format. so just a tip

    You could also add your app's folder to the PATH environmental variable.

    Get these: Mozilla Opera OpenBSD
    I have books for sale: "MCSD in a Nutshell" and "VB Distributed Exam Cram" - PM me for details. Will also trade for a decent ATX Pentium 2 MB/CPU/RAM combo.
