I use paint.net for everything I used MSpaint for.
Now the way I got to MSpaint was:
Winkey + R -> Type Mspaint -> Enter
For paint.net:
Winkey -> Type paint -> Enter.
Now one seems faster, no? But it isn't, opening the taskbar and typing results in searching, which is painfully slow (a little over half a second). Plus it takes a quarter of a second for the taskbar to 'slide' up.
Yes I'm a prick, but to me it matters.
Anyways.
I've renamed mspaint.exe to mspaint.exe.bak (not easy, mind you), placed a paint.net shortcut into c:\windows\system32, that didn't work. Did the same for Windows\SysWoW64.
Any ideas?
what?
wrong section perhaps
Maybe; it's a quick question with a (hopefully) quick answer. Plus IIRC fast threads is the "Post your and Question" threads.
Sorry if this is the wrong section, however.
More rather what you wrote doesn't make any sense.
but don't mind me. go on.
Make shortcuts on the desktop? seriously?
I completely understand what he wants to do. When he opens run and types mspaint, he wants paint.net to open. How could you not get that?
remove the mspaint.exe.bak and just keep the ORIGINAL mspaint.exe in there.
Add a paint.exe SHORTCUT to paint.net in C:\windows\ and you should be able to start run and type paint.exe and then have it open paint.net.
Draw a highway in paint, make it turn left? Rerouting?

To no avail, my friend.
Okay, Try pasting the actual paint.net.exe i in the folder, rename to mspaint.exe, keep mspaint.exe.bak,
If that doesn't work
try pasting the dll files needed by paint.net in the system32 folder.
if that doesn't work
try pasting all the files needed by paoint.net in the system 32 folder.
if that doesn't work
make a batch file that opens paint.net and name it mspaint.bat and put it in system32
if that doesn't work
make a small program that opens paint.net and name it mspaint.exe and put it in system32
one of those should work.
add it to your start menu
Right click your paint.net exe and choose properties. There should be an entry to set up a shortcut key. Hit your desired combination of buttons then click apply. Seems close to what you want.
