Hi Mujtaba, This is not correct. You can open MS Word from the run dialogue box by typing "winword.exe." "excel.exe" will launch the MS Excel application. I don't recall what to type to launch MS Powerpoint. Thanks.

Hello Members, Excuse the lame subject line. Using the keyboard shortcuts not only ads to your productivity but saves you the time. Launching applications from the run dialog box is the fastest way to get to that program you use on a daily basis or regularly. Like for example you can press the key combination windows key+R to launch the run dialog box and type in calc to open the calculator application. You can also launch a website in the run dialog box by simply typing the URL e.g. www.google.com. So why am I telling this which you already know? Try launching MS Word, Powerpoint, Excel from the run dialog box. I am sure you can't right? Well this knowledge sharing email will help you do just that! To accomplish this you need to know in which drive your windows operating system has been installed. Commonly it is the c drive. Go to my computer from your desktop, then to c drive and in the folder windows. Here open the folder named system32. NOTE: In these folders all your operating system files are saved be cautious not to rename or delete any file from these locations. Now that you have this folder opened, hit the start, programs and get to Microsoft Office submenu and select a particular application. For this example we will use word. Once your cursor is focused on Microsoft Office Word 2007 or 2003, hit the application key and move to the send to submenu, in those options hit enter on send to desktop create shortcut. This action would have created a shortcut on your desktop for the application Microsoft word. Now go to your desktop and locate the shortcut. Rename it using the F2 function key to something simple as msword. Selecting that shortcut now, cut it and paste it in the system32 folder you had opened earlier. Now the testing, hit windows key and r to launch the run dialog box and type msword and hit enter. If you have done everything right it should open a new word document for you. Repeat the steps to create the destop shortcuts for all the applications you wish to launch using the run dialog box and paste them in the system32 folder. Then onwards to launch any application you will not have to go to start, programs and the application name, all you have to do is use the run dialog box to launch the application. Time to Run!
