Finding the path of a program
Hi,
I just got a new Microsoft keyboard and mouse. You can assign favorites keys to the keyboard by typing in the path of the program or using the browse feature. I would like to assign Word 2007 to Favorites Key 1. How do I find the path of Word 2007 on my computer? Where do I look? Thank you for any help you can give me. |

Finding the path of a program
Just do a system wide search for "winword.exe" which is the Word program.
Alternatively, you can open a command prompt, and execute the following line: reg query HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Common\Install Root /v Path This will return something like: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\ Common\InstallRoot Path REG_SZ C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\ The last part (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\) tells you were Office is installed. The shortcut to Word is that value followed by "winword.exe". So in the above case: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\winword.exe Yves "moon" wrote in message news Hi, I just got a new Microsoft keyboard and mouse.
