Green and efficient Win+R startup common program documentation (1)

        The real master is the general power to exert great power. It is the most appropriate method to choose according to the situation. It is derived from the martial arts. The same is true of software. Of course, we must choose good soft, but we must make good use of it. No matter how good the software is, it is also the work of the developer; and the use of the heart is the one that belongs to the user. In the tool software of the quick start program, the boutique is born. There are old classics like TypeAndRun and SlickRun, there are trend rookies like Lunchy, and some people know little but powerful FARR. But the author never used such tools, only the simplest win + r way. This article can be summarized as a sentence: "Create .lnk, rename .lnk easy to remember and input, concentrate lnk to a directory, add this directory to path". If you understand all, you don't have to look down. If you don't understand it, don't worry. The following is very detailed, from shallow to deep, no matter what level, it is guaranteed to learn. 1. Example win+r, the meaningful reading should be win run, which means that pressing the windows key and the r key at the same time is equivalent to the "running" of the start menu. Note that the effect is equivalent. From the speed point of view, pressing win+r is many times faster than using the mouse. Use win + r to start a common program, 1 second is enough. For example, when I want to open the MS Office Word program, I only need to press 4 keys: {win}+r w {enter}, one second is enough. Basically, the author launches any commonly used software, which is the {win}+r xx {enter} mode. There are at least 4 buttons and no more than 6 buttons. The xx is equivalent to the software abbreviation. For example, I usually use: ooo=OpenOffice, o=Opera, wps=wps, xls=MS Excel, ppt=MS PowerPoint, m=Maxthon, fx=Firefox, fx3=Firefox3, Tc=Total Commander, tb=Thunderbird, wn=WorkNote.txt, pn=Private Note, addr=Contact File, 5=Cool Five …… Start commonly used software, open commonly used Documents or directories, access to frequently used web pages, and even complete any repetitive work —— all of this can be done quickly with win+r. 2. Experience: The easiest way (primary) So amazing win+r, and can be personalized like this, is it complicated? Not at all. The really good way is to meet the various needs of users, but it is very simple. In just 2 steps, you can experience the simplicity of win+r, which is practical. Step 1: Believe in the most commonly used programs or games, there are already shortcuts on the desktop. Then choose one of them, and change its name to a shorter one, preferably 1-3 letters. For example, change the Word shortcut to w, or change a game shortcut to yx (the Chinese phonetic abbreviation for the game). Step 2: Copy (or move) the renamed desktop icon to the c:\\windows directory. Try win+r w, or win+r yx now, is it all done! 3. Summary: Four advantages Now that you have mastered the win+r method. It has the following characteristics: The greenest. If you use software with similar functions, even if you don't install it, you must always copy and decompress it; even if it is small, it will take up hard disk space (or sometimes it is not a problem with hard disk space, but the amount of software is too much, it seems that it is not managed. Convenient); save resources, but also long-term memory, occupy a certain amount of resources, and even appear in the system tray icon. The win+r mode is a true zero cost, zero occupancy, is the use of the operating system's own features. Said win+r is the greenest, no one will object? Are you opposed? It has gone beyond green to reach a colorless realm? agree. The fastest. No longer need a mouse, no need to switch interface, no need to enter the layer menu, or even squint, as long as 1 second, press a few keys, the program will start. Even than you said "sesame open the door" & rdquo; used time is short. The most stable. Still use it? The less software installed, the more stable the system is of course. The easiest, of course, the least bug. Most human. It doesn't limit your "single letter + special key (alt/shift/ctrl)" as a general hotkey tool. This is a very inconvenient way to remember, but instead uses a normal string, which you can freely name. . For example, an MS Word, like simple one can be named w; if w is already occupied (such as Wink), it can be called doc; if you are very talented, it can also be called "Microsoft writes for me" &mquo;&mdash Yes, it can be Chinese! This free naming method is free to handle when encountering multiple program abbreviations, or multiple versions of a software. Therefore, I highly recommend the win+r mode. Use it, no longer need any special startup tools, and the desktop and quick launch bar are no longer crowded.

4. Learning: The most standard practice (intermediate 1) The above is the easiest way for users who require less requirements and do not need to manage too much for shortcuts. If you want to have a deeper application and understanding, then I recommend the following standard 4-step method. Step 1: Find the target and create a shortcut for it. The desktop icons in the above example, as well as the start menu and quick launch bar, are many shortcuts. But for more programs, documents, and directories, you need to master the manual creation of shortcuts. It's also very simple. Right click on it in the explorer and select “send to →desktop shortcut" or “create shortcut" on the popup menu. Step 2: Rename the shortcut How to change the name, everyone should be (F2), I only recommend some principles. The most fundamental principle is to suit yourself. For example, if you have good memory but a slow keyboard, try to make the name shorter, such as using only one letter. If you don't care about the typing speed and want to show it to others, you can change the notepad.exe shortcut to "ld"; I have to type now! ”. Another example is the choice of pinyin abbreviation, or English abbreviation. The most commonly used is the shortest, such as single letter (word & rarr; w). The second most commonly used can be a few more letters (wink & rarr; w is occupied, just use wink, or wi). It is a good idea to use the file name suffix as an abbreviation. Word→doc, powerpoint→ppt…… Multiple versions only need to add numbers or other identifiers. For example, fx2=Firefox v2.0, fx3=Firefox 3beta. Another example is tc=Total Commander official original, tcz=Total Commander Zhang Xuesi version, tcee=TC shanny version …… Step 3: Move the shortcut to a special directory. For example, I move these shortcuts to the directory d:\\short, This is convenient for management. Some shortcuts are commonly used at the time. After a period of time, they are not needed. You can check them occasionally and clean up the useless information in time. In fact, steps 2 and 3 do not have a sequence. Step 4: Adding a special path to the system path variable There are multiple ways to do this. The steps to add a path variable are “desktop → my computer → right-click menu → attribute → advanced → system variable → path”. 5. Principle: Know why (Intermediate 2) When the user presses win+r xyz enter, the computer that knows nothing about xyz thinks and acts like this. 1 Check the system variable path to get multiple directories, such as C:\\WINDOWS\\system32; C:\\WINDOWS; C:\\WINDOWS\\System32\\Wbem; d:\\short; d:\\Program Files\\jZip…… 2 Search the above directory to find out if there are files called xyz.cmd, xyz.exe, xyz.bat, xyz.lnk. (The actual information will also be found in the registry) 3 Found xyz.lnk from d:\\short 4 From xyz.lnk, find the location of the document or program that you really want to run, such as d:\\Program Files\\tc7. 0\\TOTALCMD.EXE, and other information (such as whether the window is maximized, etc.) 5 windows to launch the real target document or program For .lnk files, you can see xxx; or right click on this file, <;properties". In fact, what you see from the property is the whole content of it. If you think this is not a view file, you can also try to open .lnk with Notepad. You can know a little bit, but please don't modify or save it with Notepad. In addition, after understanding this principle, you will understand why the abbreviation cannot be repeated with the existing commands of the system. For example, d:\\short\\cmd.lnk does not work because cmd will take precedence over c:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\cmd.exe. If you have a similar name, you can add a number, or add a few more letters to avoid the system name.

6. Advanced Application and Extended Knowledge 6.1 Fast Switching IP Address This technique is extremely useful for users who frequently switch IP addresses. If I am on a business trip to Shanghai, just win+r ip sh; go back to Beijing and click win+r ip bj. How to achieve, see "Batch IP with Batch". 6.2 Quick access to web pages In fact, not only programs and documents can be accessed quickly, but also web pages. Just create a .url for the URL and then create a .lnk. However, when building lnk, it is necessary to overcome the cleverness of Windows. In a browser (such as IE), open a web page (such as http://blog.xbeta.info), then, menu “file → send → desktop shortcuts & rdquo;. But the shortcut here is the .url file, which is actually a text file (can be opened with Notepad, can be edited and saved), and it is not detected in the path. So, you have to create a .lnk file for .url. The problem is that you can only get a copy of .url in the usual way, and you can't generate a .lnk file. The fault is not in you, but in the windows self-made smart, ".url" is a shortcut to the webpage. Why must I build lnk? This user may have a problem. Then copy another url. On the other hand, the suffix is ​​not displayed on the desktop, and the user will not find the ……” This is the idea of ​​windows. It treats the normal situation as the default by default, so it makes many personalized users very disgusted (but It must be acknowledged that it is easy to use for most primary users). How to bypass windows? If you use Total Commander, there is no such problem at all (for this reason, I have never found this problem before, and this paragraph was added by the user's prompt). If you can see the suffix of .url, you can delete .url first, then create .lnk, then restore .url, and then modify .lnk to point to this url. In fact, if you create the first lnk pointing to the url, you can copy and modify it later. If you can't see the .url suffix, then you can't modify the suffix, so you have to copy an lnk arbitrarily (preferably from htm, so the icon is consistent), and modify it. If you still can't understand, please see the flash tutorial: http://xbeta.ys168.com →wink tutorial → url-lnk.zip. 6.3 Quick and automatic completion of series operation: win+r combined with AHK For example, you can press win+r gm, it will automatically open the browser, automatically enter the gmail webpage, automatically enter the user name, password, and enter the Gmail mailbox. Let's take advantage of the 2 cases that Jiasoft actually uses in the work. Win+r n, then automatically open Lotus Notes, automatically enter the password, and enter the company mailbox. Win+r mock, automatically open SAP, automatically link to the mock environment, automatically enter the username and password, and enter the SAP regression test system. These automatic operations are all done with the help of a magical little software, AutoHotkey. For details, see "AutoHotkey Level 0 Getting Started Tutorial: Let Repeat Jobs Complete One Button." 7. Summary Pursuing an efficient work method does not mean using a lot of “advanced” software. Instead, it uses a lot of basic functions and integrates to meet the “real needs”. In other words, making good use is more important than good software.
