Creating Program Aliases in Windows
Windows registry allows you to create program aliases i.e when you type "spreadsheet.exe" in Run it will open Excel Sheet i.e. C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~2\Office10\EXCEL.EXE
Navigate to
HLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths
Create a sub-key, and call it the name of the alias you wish to create (e.g. "spreadsheet.exe") then Double Click on Default value of the sub-key and enter the complete path of the executable which you want to launch when you execute the alias (e.g. "C:\PROGRA~1\MICROS~2\Office10\EXCEL.EXE").
To test go to Start >> Run and type spreedsheet.exe and it will open Excel Sheet.
