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?
Put the exe in the windows directory.
Or put a shortcut (.lnk) to the exe in the Win directory.
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.
