Ms Run Commands

[woodygap]

Welcome to the forums, stymie222 

 

I am guessing you have looked in your startup folder

try start button > run > msconfig

uncheck it in the far rigth tab (startup)

 

then remove it in control panel

Don, I just read your last post and have always wondered about all the "run" commands in windows, like msconfig. Is there a list somewhere of these type of commands? I have looked around in the past but didn't find much.

 

Just curious, Thanks for your time

Hi Woody, these have come in handy a few times. especially ipconfig, regedit, and tracert. here's a couple links for some and probably all of the commands..

 

run #1

run #2

Most of the ones on those lists are just programs. Only a few, like COPY are internal commands.

 

The cool run commands are the ones like services.msc that will load specific parts of windows without having to go through a bunch of clicks.

You can actually run any executable "program" from the "Run" or command window. As long as you give the full path it will startup just like you clicked an icon.

And there are lots of "executables" besides the .exe and .com files. The .msc and .cpl, .pif are others...

 

Do a search for them and try some out.

If you want to run something from the command line here is the easy way.

I'll use traceroute as an example.

Normally you would open the run box > type cmd > then run your command.

If you try to run your command directly from the run box it will run, but the window closes upon completion.

To slove this problem run your commands from the Run box this way:
