cmdtool

cmdtool is a tool for adding shortcuts for applications and files so they are able to be opened from Windows “Run” dialog using short names (“Run” dialog can be opened from Start menu or using Win + R hotkey).

The program is distributed as is, whithout any obligation or guarantee. Use it at own risk.

Usage instructions

Usage: cmdtool -h                      (prints this help)
  or:  cmdtool -i                      (installs cmdtool)
  or:  cmdtool FILENAME [-s SHORTCUT]  (makes link for FILENAME)
After creating shortcut you can open/run FILENAME by typing `SHORTCUT'
or `SHORTCUT.exe' in Windows `Run' dialog (Win + R).
If name for shortcut is omitted, it will be generated automatically.
