Question

I know, that I can write “firefox.exe” in registry command, but when I write my application like “myapp.exe” it doesn’t work. If I use full path “C:…\myapp.exe” it works, but application can be installed anywhere else, so how to write short command?

Also, in run utilite when I write myapp.exe it can’t find it

Answer 1

When you tell windows to run a program and you don’t specify the full path, it looks at the PATH variable, which contains just a string of directories separated by “;” and sees if it finds the program there.
