Subject: [NF] How do I make a program name generally executable?

Let's say I have an executable located in c:\Program Files\Some

Directory\Some Other Directory\foo.exe. I would like to make it so

that the user can type 'foo' from a command prompt, and have that

executable run.

Would this be a Registry entry (or several)? If so, what would I

need to do? A link to a how-to page would be great.
