Win+Run with (extremely) shortened names.

Prerequisites

• PowerShell (Windows 7 has already included it)

Installation (Extremely Fast to Create Minimal Runnable)

1. Download the zip archieve and unzip
2. Goto the unzipped folder
3. Rename linkmaintenance.example to linkmaintenance
4. Open PowerShell with Administrator
5. cd to the unzipped folder
6. Type Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned; .\addPath.ps1; .\do.ps1 and enter

Later, you can put more lnk files in linkmaintenance and add to linkmaintenance\rules\rules.txt and run .\do.ps1 again.

Rule File

Core Rule File

The core rule file is the main entry of all rule files is required in it.

Syntax of Rule Files

• ~ will change the source destination (relative to current destination). It will persist in this file and later included files.
• ! will include another file.
• otherwise, | will split shortened name and long name. It is possible to add several shortened name splitted with ;

See files in linkmaintenance.example/rules for example
