What is this preoccupation with the abuse of that "app paths" registry key ?


Create a folder and add it to the PATH environment variable* (which is 
something you only need to do once).  After that you can just drop any 
program or batch file into it and start it using the "run" dialog (or from a 
command console) - no "app path" fumbling needed anymore.

* or, if you do not mind making a mess of things, just pick a folder thats 
mentioned in that PATH environment variable.

The second nice thing about it is that, when you remove a program/batchfile 
from that folder, you not also need to remember to remove the "app paths" 
registry key for it.


Personally I've added a folder as a submenu to the "start" button.  Easy to 
reach and I can just pick the program/batchfile/script/shortcut** I need, 
instead of having to remember its exact name - using one-letter filenames 
might be good to minimize keystrokes, but having a descriptive filename 
helps you to remember what it actually does.

** which, ofcourse, allows you to execute a (single) program with 
(different) arguments.
