   In this tutorial i will be creating Run command for Mozilla Firefox web browser. (You can use any software.)
    
2. Now go to your Desktop and make a new shortcut.
   Right Click > New > Shortcut
    
3. This will open a dialog box (See Image Below). Click on browse option and browse to the root folder of the software for which you want to create Run Command.
   
   
                             
    
4. Clicking Browse button will open a new dialog box as shown in image below. In this dialog box locate to the root folder of software for which you want to create your Run command and select the file.
