Run commands

My previous post was on Keyboard shortcuts which were for the users who want to be really good at using only keyboards instead of mouse. With this other will have the feeling that the user is really good at what he is doing. This time also I am giving out a post on similar topic to ease the users.

‘Run’ command is one of the key features of windows OS and it is an easy way to get to the desired directory or run an application which you don’t know where it really is. For this you open the ‘Run’ dialog box, type the run command and enter. Some of the run commands that I use frequently are:

Run command	Opens
Regedit/ regedt32	registry
Notepad	Notepad application
winword	Microsoft Word
Control/ Control panel	Control panel
control folders	Folder option dialog box
control userpasswords	User account dialog box
lusrmgr.msc	Local user & group dialog box
Gpedit.msc	Group policy
Msconfig	System configuration utility

These are just few samples of the run commands. For more run commands go to registry (start->run-> regedit). Then go to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths
There are list of all the commands that you can use in ‘Run’. Enjoy.
