Extensive List Of Run Command Shortcuts

by on Mar 11, 2009 | 5 comments

Did you know you can access just about any configuration dialog box via a simple Start > Run command? When you think about it, knowing these commands is significantly faster than than trying to navigate to them through the graphical interface and also is a great way to send instructions to people with much fewer steps.

If you don’t have all the commands memorized (yet), a great list to check out is: 156 Useful Run Commands. This list has just about any configuration dialog you can think of. You can easily find the entry you are looking for by using your browser’s search function which makes this an ideal quick reference.

      This appears to be a false alarm.
      Try typing the URL into a browser window… it forwards to a dead page, although the link probably isn’t intended.

    It did more than leave a trojan fo rme. It screwed up my logon and now I’m trying a repair install. Although it’s no fault of PCMech, I’m unsubscribing… I don’t need to be clicking through unfamiliar websites.

    Ok, I just took a completely clean, unprotected install of XP and accessed this page/site a dozen or so times using IE7.

    I then ran an online scan using Panda Security’s Active Scan. It found nothing but cookies.

    This is a false alarm from what I can tell.
