A list of useful run commands
Posted On Wednesday, March 12, 2008 at at 12:02 PM by wlorioWindows "Run" commands help save time and help us become more productive at home or the workplace. The first thing we must do is open the "Run " dialog box, this can be accomplished one of two ways:
The first method is to click on the "Start" button and then click on "Run".
The second method is to use the windows logo key + r and the "Run" dialog box will automatically open up.
Which ever method you choose you should end up with a "Run" dialog box like the picture below.
