    Here's how to launch any program directly from Start>Run

    Go here in registry

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\App Paths

    Now create a new key of program you want to launch, for example Winamp.exe

    Now in its Default String Value paste the path

    C:\Program Files\Winamp\Winamp.exe

    Done!

    Now you can lauch progs like Winamp who's entries are not addred to run directly by Run command during installation...

    Most of Windows Installer applications are by default written to launch directly from Run C\command but progs which comes with NSIS, Inno, Old version of WISE... don't write their entries to lauch directly from Run command...

    So by the above tewak you can add an entry for your favorite program and launch it directly from Run command...

    enjoy.
