Use keyword to launch application
Example if wanting to launch firefox, by just entering "ff", then just create a shortcut in the Start-menu named ff that points to the Firefox application.A more difficult approach is to register a pseudo application called "ff.exe" in the registry:

(Default) = "C:\Firefox\Firefox.exe"
