RUN COMMANDS FOR WINDOWS 7

A run command is the name of the file that starts an application, which is an executable for a program.

Knowing the run command for a particular program in Windows 7 can be helpful if Windows isn't working properly but you do have access to a command line interface or if you'd just like to access a particular program more quickly.

Many Windows 7 run command lists online incorrectly include Command Prompt commands or Control Panel commands as run commands.

Here is the list of run commands for Windows 7.

[1] This run command can not be executed from the Command Prompt because the file is not in the default Windows path. However, it can be run from the Windows Search box or the Run box.

[2] The dvdplay run command opens Windows Media Player and automatically starts to play the DVD movie in the primary DVD drive.

[3] You must follow the fontview run command with the name of the font that you wish to see.

[4] When you execute the regedt32 run command, it simply forwards to regedit and executes that program instead. Two distinct versions of Registry Editor did exist in some earlier versions of Windows.

[5] This run command is not available in 64-bit versions of Windows 7.
