Start Applications

You can create commands to quickly start your favorite applications.

For instance, by default the command "mw" is set up to start Microsoft Word.

 

 

Windows Start Menu

If you have enabled that feature in the Options Dialog, Fingertips will automatically scan your Start Menu and add applications as commands. These commands are made up of the names of the applications and tend to be fairly long and unwieldy. However, you can easily copy such a command to a more intuitive acronym. And you can take advantage of these commands to start an application that you don't use often, but without having to use the Start Menu.

 

 

Add An Application To Fingertips

 

Use the following steps to add other applications to Fingertips easily.

 

1.Start the application that you want to add to Fingertips from the Start Menu, or any other way you know to start it.

 

2.Open the Fingertips command dialog (Ctrl+`).

 

3.Type a command that doesn't exist yet in Fingertips:
 

 

 

4.Press the New button (Alt+E).

 

5.Click the Running Applications button:
 
 

 

6.Select the application that you want to add to Fingertips:
 
 

 

7.Press the OK button to return to the Fingertips Command Window.

 

That's all. You can now use your new Fingertips command to start your application.
