Thanks for the thread on this new "free calc" option for Windows.

Just in case people aren't aware of the RUN box shortcuts, if you type
"calc" into the RUN box, it brings up the default Windows calculator.

If you want to point to a _different_ calculator, that's trivial.

For example, if you want a FreeCalc command called, oh, say, fcalc
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths]
fcalc.exe = C:\app\editor\calc\fcalc\MoffFreeCalc.exe

Voila! Now if you type "calc", you get the Microsoft Calculator, and if you
type "fcalc" instead, you get the free calc calculate downloaded above.
