Is there a way to load "run" from "Windows Explorer"

Hi All,

I locate a lot of files with Windows Explorer (WE) (NOT Internet
Explorer).

Often times I have to go back and winr to re-hunt the stinker
down so I can add command line parameters.

Is there any way to trigger and load winr from WE? Or, maybe
some way from WE to add command line parameters?

Many thanks,

You can select an executable from WE, and then up in the address bar,
just add the parameters.

My address bad only gives me the directory. What am I missing?

I use Send To Toys from http://www.gabrieleponti.com/software/ for that.
Right-clicking on the file in Windows Explorer and selecting 'Send to Command
Prompt' from the popup menu opens a command window with the executable name and
path complete with a trailing space ready to add command parameters.
There's an entry in Control Panel to change the general settings for the utility.

And having just updated to the latest version, it now has a 'Send to Run...' entry
which is exactly what you want.


Hi John,

I love it for me, but I am 98% doing this over Go To Assist
on customer's machines. I am hesitant to install utilities on
other's machines.

Sort of like me loving "Classic Shell" for Frankenstein (w8) and
Son-of-Frankenstein (W-Nein, oops, W10). But, since the customer
have never seen it, I suffer with the stock way of doing it.
(When the customers want Classic Shell, Yippee!)

So, I was kind of hoping there was a way to do it with
stock WE.

Thank you for the help!

Yep, sorry - it does only do that. So go up to the address bar and type
it in, it'll at least autocomplete/find it for you. *Then* put the
parameters in

Hi Dave,

I have been working with Windows for over 20 years and never
realized I could do that. You are the man! Thank you!

Ah. Fair enough. You didn't say that. You'll just have to train your customers
better! :^))

Native method A:

Shift-right-click the executable and select "Copy as path".

Hit the Windows key or the Start button and type CMD /K and a space,
Ctrl+V and another space, and your parameters.


Native method B:

If you have a command prompt already open, click and drag the
executable into it and then add your parameters.

20 years ago, Windows couldn't do that.

You know I don't even remember what Windows for Workgroups
used for a File Manager. I just remember it was a sweet OS.
NT used some kind of File Manager, but I forgot that one too.
