Creating Your Own Run Commands

If you are like me, you will use a few programs very frequently. One way to make them start faster is to give them their own Run command:
  1. Win+R to open the Run dialog
  2. Enter %windir% to open the Windows directory
  3. Alt+F W S to open the File menu, choose the New menu item, then the Shortcut menu item
  4. Go through the wizard to create a shortcut to the desired program
  5. The name you give the shortcut is what you type in the Run dialog to start the program

Even if the user has logged out (means the Session data has been removed by calling the  Session.Abandon() or  Session.RemoveAll()  or  Session.Clear()  method), this  ASP.NET_SessionId  cookie and its value is not deleted from the user browser.
