Run Commands

Most executable files (.exe) in system folder
(C:Windows\System32) can be launched directly
from the run command window

All listed commands can be executed from command prompt also. Commands that display exclusively in DOS window can be preceeded win

cmd /k to keep the window open, or

cmd /c to close the window after display. The latter is the default when left blank

Function

Some commands span through multiple operating
systems. Some are specific to certain OS. Some
commands here are posted in multiple places if they
have ambiguous titles

Please note also that some commands do not work in
Home editions.
