As we can go to the temp folder by typing %temp% in the run Window.Is there any way to make this command work for our folders as well
eg-If we have a folder say SUPER then i want this folder to open when i give %SUPER% in the run window
%temp%
is referencing an environment variable.
These are defined in Control Panel / System / Advanced / Environment Variables
for XP and in Windows 7 you can just search for "environment" in the start menu and choose Edit Environment Variables
.
Add the variable name you want in the name field, without the percentage signs. Add the folder you want to open in the value field.
If this is just for a user, then apply it at the user level, or use system if it is for all users.
Sure.
To set the variable %SUPER%
, just execute this command:
set SUPER=C:\foo\bar\SUPER
To set this variable automatically each time you open a terminal, go to
Control Panel -> System -> Advanced System Settings -> Environment Variables...
and create a user variable (for your account) or a system variable (for all accounts) with name SUPER
and value C:\foo\bar\SUPER
.
Yes you can.
Actually you need to create a new enviroment variable for your folder then you can access it quickly using your trick.
Let's say for C:\USER\SUPER:
Right click on My Computer > Properties > Advance System Settings > Advance tab > Environment Variables...
Add your new variable, you can choose the name whatever you want, the value should be your full path of the folder. This case: SUPER and C:\USER\SUPER
Access it by typing %SUPER%
This works on my Windows 7, not sure on other versions.
