Automate opening windows run

[youssef169886]

I can’t find a way to typeinto the windows search bar or use the Win + R shortcut to open the windows run app. How can I Use UiPath to open run?

Hey @youssef169886
you can use ‘send hotkey’ activity:

or just use open application if you want to open specific app:

Hi @youssef169886

You can use Send Hotkey activity:

Or use Use Application/Browser inside that use Keyboard Shortcuts. Refer the below sample workflow.

Why you want to use it?

Ideally any application can be opened using use application/browser

@Anil_G
In this case I want it to type in an ip address to access a file server unfortunately

@youssef169886

Access the same using cmd which will work through invoke power shell

And file servers are accessed using ftp activities…you have dedicated activities for the same

Cheers
