Useful run commands for windows 7

Like everyone said, time is gold. Every single second is precious and time is not to be wasted. Do you notice that sometimes we actually used up to 10 seconds to open a windows program? With today tip, you can probably open any programs in less than 5 seconds. So now I’m going to show you a list of general and common commands that you can use in the Run option from the start menu (Start > Run box). I consider this tip somewhat advanced, but if you get this into your head early on and spend more time familiarizing yourself, you can be a PRO in computing shortcuts!


This list is quite long and extensive. If you can’t memorize all these right away, you can always come back here and check out the commands you need when you wish to open certain windows programs. (Bookmark this page!)

Additional Advice: I strongly recommend you to use SlickRun. SlickRun is simply another “run option” that is much more simple to use.

SlickRun is a free floating command line utility for Windows. SlickRun gives you almost instant access to any program or website. SlickRun allows you to create command aliases (known as MagicWords), so C:\Program Files\Outlook Express\msimn.exe becomes MAIL.

Enter a web URL into SlickRun and it will launch your browser and navigate to the specified address. Run multiple programs in a few keystrokes, jot a note, look up a definition… SlickRun is the most natural way to interact with your computer.

Alright, here we go.

You might have gone through a stage at least once in your Facebook account when a message appears i.e. your friend request is blocked for 1 day, 3 days, or even 30 days. You can not send friend request on Facebook to anyone whether you know him or not when you are blocked. This is because Facebook doesn’t let to send friend request to unknown people and considers it as spam and therefore temporarily disable sending friend requests when you violate its rules. This is generally done to secure privacy of people and some people by adding strangers as their friend make misuse of that thing.
