Mr. Mujtaba shared a very useful information, the process he shared would help the user to create their own shortcuts.
I've done the same with Google Crome. I simply type 'google' in run to launch 'google crome'. With the above process, we can make the shortcuts of other applications. how it would be launch skype from run. I know the process, but don't know the simplest way to explain, thank Mr. Mujtaba. Keep Sharing....
