Access to any file via the command line is possible, and has been for decades. However, this is not an easy task in Windows 10 or any other version of the operating system. Keeping that in mind, we chose to look for a tool that would do the job in the easiest way. The program we are going to discuss today is calling SlickRun, and it is a command-line utility designed for Windows 10 and later versions of the operating system. Now, from what we have come to understand since using this tool, it can give users relatively easy access to almost any website or program.
You see, users can create aliases, called Magic wordsand it's very easy to do for your information. This is an awesome kit, this SlickRun, and since our first use, we use it quite regularly. We are almost certain that many people will find a comfort solution in this software because it is useful and easy to understand.
Now, for those who have trouble understanding how to use SlickRun, keep reading because, as usual, we have the solution.
SlickRun – Opens a program or website using the command line
Do not forget that after installation, the user will not see screen because the tool is transported to the taskbar. Everything is done from this section, and it is quite easy to understand, at least from our point of view.
1) New magic word
For everything to work easily, you'll need to add magic words for all your important files and websites. We suggest that you right-click on the taskbar icon and then select the installation program. From there, the configuration window should be visible. Just click on New Magic Word to add items manually.
In addition, the window must contain several elements of the library. So a lot of hard work should be put aside right away.
2) New shortcuts
OK, so when it's time to add new shortcuts, please right-click on the taskbar icon and select New Shortcut to add them. To see newly added shortcuts, right-click again and select Shortcuts to view all shortcuts.
Yes, it's as simple as that and it should not take you much to do it.
3) Use a magic word
To launch a program or website via a magic word, simply type the word in the search field and press Enter. You can also launch it from the installation window, but it's a chore. We suggest you use the search field option.
