+====== Quick Access To Everything ======
+===== Other way to do the same is through run alias commands =====

+===== Intro =====
+If you are like me, probably you prefer to open Start -> run and then type the name of the program and enter to access easy and quick to every kind of programs. For instance, if you do ''Start -> run'' and type ''notepad'', you will open the Windows notepad. Sometimes it is quicker than to find the program among the programs menu of the windows.
+However, there are some programs that resist to this approximation. I've found that creating specialy crafted bat files could solve this issue.
+The first point is to add to the PATH variable the folder "c:\program files": you will locate there those batch files.
+The second point is to put there the batch files. Here are some:
+===== Launch the gimp =====
+Call this program "gimp.bat" and voila! Whenever you type ''gimp'' in your "run" window, the gimp will open.
+<code bat>
+@start "Gimp" "C:\program files\GIMP-2.0\bin\gimp-2.6.exe"
+</code>
+===== Open a folder =====
+<code bat>
+@echo off
+set destdir="X:\some\special and rare\and complex\path"
+start "Explorer" "%windir%\explorer.exe" %destdir%
+</code>
