148 Windows Run Commands

By Lori Cline – Posted on Jun 18, 2015 in Windows

Run commands in Windows are so handy! Anytime you want something, simply
type in the command, and it takes only about two seconds to get it. Are there
things you wish you had a Run Command for? We have recently published two
Run Commands articles, and they were popular, so we have decided to compile a
big list of Run Commands that you can use. This list has 148 of them.

Note that there are asterisks by some of the commands. All of the programs
called up by these commands can be accessed from the Run box, the search box
in your Start menu, or a command prompt. The ones with the asterisks can only
be accessed by using the Run box; you can’t get the les with the search box or
command prompt. Also, while most of the commands will work in Windows
8/8.1/10, some of them only run in Windows 7.

I thought I was receiving the Windows Run Command cheat sheet only, but you set up a
subscription instead. I was not suspecting that. You do have good articles, but I do not want
the subscription. Please unsubscribe me. Thanks.
