Creating ur own Run Command


The Run command on Microsoft Windows operating system allows you to directly open an application or document with just a single command instead of navigating to it’s location and double-clicking the executable icon. However, it only works for some of the inbuilt Windows programs such as Command prompt (cmd), Calculator (calc) etc. So, have you ever wondered how to create your own customized Run commands for accessing your favorite programs, files and folders? Well, read on to find out the answer.

Creating the Customized Run Command

 
Let me take up an example of how to create a customized run command for opening the Internet explorer. Once you create this command, you should be able to open the Internet explorer just by typing “ie” (without quotes) in the Run dialog box. Here is how you can do that.
1. Right click on your Desktop and select New -> Shortcut.
2. You will see a “Create Shortcut” Dialog box as shown below

3. Click on “Browse”, navigate to: Program Files -> Internet Explorer from your Root drive (usually C:\) and select “iexplore” as shown in the above figure and click on “OK”.
4. Now click on “Next” and type any name for your shortcut. You can choose any name as per your choice; this will be your customized “Run command”. In this case I name my shortcut as “ie”. Click on “Finish”.
5. You will see a shortcut named “ie” on your desktop. All you need to do is just copy this shortcut and paste it in your Windows folder (usually “C:/Windows”). Once you have copied the shortcut onto your Windows folder, you can delete the one on your Desktop.
6. That’s it! From now on, just open the Run dialog box and type ie and hit Enter to open the Internet Explorer.
In this way you can create customized Run commands for any program of your choice. To do this, when you click on “Browse” in the Step-3, just select the target program’s main executable (.exe) file which will usually be located in the C:\Program Files folder. Give a simple and short name for this shortcut as per your choice and copy the shortcut file onto the Windows folder as usual. Now just type this short name in the Run dialog box to open the program.
I hope you like this post! Pass your comments.

• At the > prompt, type 0 to record the current value of the configuration register normally 0x2102, or 0x102.
>o

Bit# Configuration register option settings:
15 Diagnostic mode disabled.
• Type o/r 0x2142 to tell the router to boot from flash without loading the configuration in NVRAM at the next reload.
• Type i to have the router reboot. The router ignores the configuration in NVRAM.

• Type enable ate the Router> prompt to go to privileged exec mode.
• Copy the startup configuration to the running configuration by using the configure memory or copy startup-config running-config commands. Do not type configure terminal. If you use the configure terminal command, you overwrite the configuration stored in NVRAM.

• Enter the configuration mode by typing configure terminal. Change the line of enable passwords as necessary.
• All interfaces are in a shutdown state. Issue the no shutdown command on every interface that is to be used.
• Type config-register 0x2102 to return the router to normal operation at the next reloads.
• Exit configuration mode by pressing Ctrl-Z
• Save your changes by typing write memory or copy running-config startup-config.
• Reload the router and verify the passwords.
