Hello Friends!
Do you use the Run feature in your system (Windows) ?
For most, this feature remains unused. But why? Well, First off almost all of the Run Commands Correspond to a particular Control Panel Item or a Utility, Tool or Task that can be accessed through Windows.
However, there are tools and utilities that I assure you never knew, you had that can be accessed through the Run feature.
The main reason most people don’t use the Run feature is because may be they don’t know the Commands. So, lets see guys! I have collected together all and mentioned below, which lists all Run Commands and what they correspond too.
You can check all below command using command Prompt.
