Windows Run commands can make navigating around windows systems faster. Here are some of the ones I find myself using on a somewhat regular basis.
To use a run command press Windows Key + R to open Run
- appwiz.cpl - Programs and Features
- sysdm.cpl - Opens System properties used to join the domain or change computer name.
- cmd - Opens command prompt
- powershell - Opens Powershell powershell ise will open powershells IDE
- notepad - opens notepad useful for pasting information
- regedit - opens registry
- msinfo32 - used to see the specs of the computer "System Information"
- shutdown /r /f /t 00 - reboot the computer without waiting for any user input or hung applications
- devmgmt.msc - Device Manager used for looking at drivers
- lusrmgr.msc - local user manager helpful for creating local accounts.
Hopefully your navigation through windows a little easier.
