Quick launch apps from the Run box

Forget installing a launcher application – the built-in Run box in
Windows can quickly launch applications. Create a shortcut in your
Windows installation path, such as C:/Windows, and launch programs by typing in the name of the shortcut in the Run dialog.

For example, if you create a shortcut in C:/Windows, to
Winamp and name the shortcut winamp, hit Windows-R to invoke the Run
box and ‘winamp’ to start it. This hack is very simple, though is very
useful if, like me, you have a full desktop, start menu going off the
side of the screen and a quick launch so big you can’t actually use the
task bar! — Joe Anderson
