What Is Run Command?

Almost all the Windows XP Users will know Windows Run Command in the Start menu. Windows Run Command is a very useful tool to launch a windows application/service or access to document that path is known. In short, Windows Run Command is a single line command line which actually can save a lot of time to perform your daily tasks.

How To Run Command?

There are two ways to open Windows Run Command; one is via Start Menu as shown below or using shortcut key (Windows Key + R)

Many people do not utilize Windows XP Run Commands service because they don’t know the command lines. Some people claimed that they can access through all Windows Services via Control Panel and Task Manager. Anyway, if you know some of these useful Run Commands, I believe you can perform your work faster and more efficient than those people who do not know command lines. For example, you can easily type “mstsc” command to launch remote desktop service.

However, I’m quite disappointed with Windows Vista and Windows 7 because Run Command does not appear directly on the Start Menu anymore. However, you can still type ‘run’ on Windows Search box to launch Windows Run Command.

Here I would like to present you a full complete list of Windows Run Commands to help you in mastering Windows functions and services. All 183 Run Commands listed below follow Alphabetical order.
