Within Xplorer I want to define a kind of dashboard for frequently used programs.
So I try to define a new User command.
First a define a shortcut to my application.
Then I define the command with:
D:\Word\Winword.lnk
because I want my new User command to start my Winword.exe which is located in d:\Word
But that does not work. Where is my mistake? Do I have to use those $-Tokens instead of the real file paths?

A $-token is not necessary, if you only want your application to start without further ado, but you should give a clue if where your command is directed to. You can use '$' to indicate that it is a dos command, or '>' if it is a run command.
I would recommend to try to define the command as:
If you put this user command as a button on a customised toolbar, you can, if I'm correct, drag and drop your Word-documents on this button to open them.
Although I like these user commands, you might also consider to drop your .exe file in the miniscrap. Doubleclicking this file would also open the application. Nikos has once made a video demo about this: http://www.zabkat.com/tour/mfv.htm

You may want to look into using the Meun++ command developed by Snakebyte.
