Ok, just a quick tip for a better way to get to your programs in windows without using the mouse.
We will create a windows shortcut for your programs accessible from the ‘run’ window.
First of all, create a folder somewhere with a name you can remember. The name and the location doesn’t matter. I usually go for “C:\shorts”.
- Now go to start (or your desktop) and right-click “My computer”.
- From the menu choose “Properties”.
- Now, on the left, find and click “Advanced settings”.
- In the window which appears, click the button “Environment variables”.
- In the bottom field, scroll down to the variable “path”. Hightlight it and click “edit”.
- Now go to the end of the line and enter the path for the folder you created. Make sure to seperate it from the previous entry with a “;”.
Click ok, ok, and ok. Now go to your folder and put shortcuts for whatever program you want in there.
Rename the shortcuts to something easy to remember; “ff” for firefox, “sp” for spotify, and so on.
Now press [win]+[r] and type whatever name you gave your shortcut, press [enter] and it opens the program.
Once you get used to this way of doing things, you can’t imagine yourself going back to the old way of doing things.
