Basic Run Commands [Windows]

Creepyghost quite often finds the mouse to be a sloooow mode of input. For example, if he wants to open up add hardware wizard, he finds it much easier to simply press [Windows] +R and type in “hdwwiz.cpl” and hit enter. Pardon him for being so lazy, ghosts often are! He feels all should practice this stuff. So, here is a basic list of commands arranged in alphabetical order for the welfare of all humans! (This ought to get creepyghost, a ticket to heaven!). This list has been compiled from a lot of sources but mostly, the thinkdigit forum.

NOTE: The shortcut to open the run box is: {Windows key] + R.
