Application to Run Specifies the application that the process will launch.
• To run an application registered by Microsoft or available in the system
path, you do not have to specify a full path. For example, if you want to
select Microsoft Excel, you can simply type “excel”.
• To run other applications, type the full path to the application in this box,
or browse for the application to find its path.
Arguments Specifies an input or parameter that will be passed to the selected Application
to Run when the process is triggered. The argument may be anything
appropriate for the application, like a file name, folder name, variable, and so
forth.

with actual information when the process runs. Selecting a placeholder will
insert it into the argument at the current position.
