There is also another similar key in HKEY_CURRENT_USER that affects just the logged in user but it’s rarely used. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/App Paths The Run dialog checks this registry key so if you can add an alias to the it, the shortcut will work when you use Run. Instead of typing a long command or path, type just a few letters that link to the command, otherwise known as an alias. Windows has a very basic alias function built in but it’s stored in the registry and not immediately obvious. Something to make the Run box more efficient is shortening commands to make them quicker to type.
Run can also launch Control Panel applets with Control commands.
Many advanced users use the keyboard to run applications or Windows tools, either through the Start menu or the Run dialog box by pressing Win+R. Both can open websites, run command line tools or open specific folder paths. While the Start Menu search box and the Run box are similar, the Run box is slightly more advanced with its previously used command history and browse box to find and launch specific programs.
