Windows Run commands you probably never knew
Run Windows Box is a very useful tool for launching programs and applications quickly. There are over a hundred run commands that let you launch all sorts of built in Windows applications like control panel modules, and system tools Disk Defragmenter, Device Manager, Group Policy Editor, etc. Most of these commands are well documented – you will find plenty of run command lists on the web, published and republished countless number of times. But I'm sure you will never find these commands in one of these lists.
