Good day everyone... How to launch programs from the Run menu in Windows 7? First, let’s figure out how to get into this very “EXECUTE” menu.It turns out that you can do a lot of different things using this menu.Well, suppose we open the program. Not just open, but with ADMINISTRATOR rights. Or open the window we need. You can also assign any task to the computer. Accordingly, with the rights of the same ADMINISTRATOR.
I think that any PC user knows the most common commands executed in the “RUN” window. This is cmd (Command Line) and of course regedit (Registry Editor). If you know exactly the command that needs to be entered into the “RUN” window, then you can easily open any system application.
How can I launch the RUN menu dialog box? It’s very simple “START” - “EXECUTE”. Or let's say Win+R. Also in Windows7 you can enter the name of the command in search string, and press Enter to execute it.Below I will give an example of a table where I will describe what commands can be entered and what programs can be entered from the “Run” menu in Windows 7. If this is your first time encountering this, then it’s probably better for you to just read this article first.

Conclusion
If any of the elements in the list does not start for you. Most likely this means that it is not installed. Many of the Windows components can be installed from the Start menu - Control Panel - Programsand Components" - "Turn Windows components on or off." Unless, of course, you have Windows7 installed, and not an assembly.
Good day everyone. In this small lesson, I would like to tell you how to return the “Run” item to Start. In Windows XP it was enabled by default, but in Seven it is not.
Paragraph "Run" in Windows 7 maybe only if we have an assembly downloaded from the Internet, or if we forcibly enabled this command ourselves to display in Start.
And if we have a purchased disk, that is, a license, then everything is there by default, no one has cut or changed anything on it. So if you need "Run" item in its usual place, then we need to manually turn it on.
To do this, click right click Click on Start and select “Properties” from the list that appears.
Here we go to the “Start Menu” tab and click the “Customize” button.
In the settings window that opens, go down a little lower and find the item “ Run command", put a checkmark in front of it and save the settings made by clicking "OK".
And in the first menu window, click “Apply" and "OK".
After these simple steps, point "Run" inWindows 7 will return to its permanent place, as it was in “XP”.
But that’s not all, it’s also worth saying that even when the “Run” item is disabled, it can still be called. To do this, just go to Start and press the key combination Win+R on your keyboard. At the same second the “Run” command will be launched.
And there is another way to run this command. You also need to go to Start and enter the name in the search bar, in this case “Run”, and it will be found. All you have to do is click on it to launch.
These are the ways you can get to the “Run” command in Windows 7 or return the “Run” item to Start.
This concludes the lesson! Bye everyone!
The Run dialog box has a lot of useful properties. Most of them are only needed system administrators, but some may be useful for ordinary users personal computers. This article describes the run command and several useful functions in Windows 7.
What is it?
Contrary to popular belief, the Run dialog is not the same as a command prompt. Windows string. The command line is a console in which MS-DOS commands or actions that change the configuration of the operating system and network are executed. The Run dialog box is used for more primitive and frequently used purposes, for example, launching programs, utility utilities and settings.
This utility will help you call various Windows programs, the location of which the user does not know. For example, this could be the above command line, Windows registry, system settings panel or task manager.
Using this line, you can quickly open a program that is simply hidden somewhere far away. Instead of going to Start, All Programs, Microsoft Office", "Word" you can simply enter "Winword". This is convenient and will significantly save your time.
“Run” is also useful in case of problems with the mouse or touchpad. All control of this dialog is carried out using the keyboard.
Working with dialogue
First you need to call up the dialog box. The easiest way to do this is to press the Win + R key combination (the win key is located between the Alt and Control buttons on your keyboard).
In addition, the command can be added to the Start menu to quickly access it using the mouse:
- Right-click on the “Start” icon and select “Properties”;
- Click on the “Customize” button at the top of the window in the “Start Menu” tab;
- Scroll to the middle of the list and check the box next to “Run Command”.
Now in the Start menu you will have a dialog button.
- cmd – call the console (command line);
- regedit – registry;
- msconfig – system configuration window;
- osk – on-screen keyboard;
- control – control panel;
- taskmgr – task manager (also called by the combination Control+Alt+Delete);
- shotdown and shotdown -r – to shut down and restart the computer, respectively;
- winword – opens Microsoft Word;
- logoff – logout to change user;
- explorer – explorer (My Computer).
Good day everyone.
When solving various issues with Windows, very often you have to execute various commands through the “Run” menu (you can also use this menu to launch programs that are hidden from view).
Some programs, however, can be launched using the Windows Control Panel, but this usually takes longer. In fact, what is easier, enter one command and press Enter or open 10 tabs?
In my recommendations, I also often refer to certain commands, how to enter them, etc. That is why the idea was born to create a small reference article with the most necessary and popular commands, which often have to be launched through “Run”. So…
Question #1: How do I open the Run menu?
The question may not be that relevant, but I’ll add it here just in case.
On Windows 7 This function is built into the START menu, you just need to open it (screenshot below). You can also enter the desired command in the line “ Find programs and files«.
Windows 7 - START menu (clickable).
In Windows 8, 10, just press a combination of buttons Win and R, then a window will pop up in front of you, in which you need to enter the command and press Enter (see screenshot below).
Windows 10 - Run menu.
List of popular commands for the RUN menu (in alphabetical order)
1) Internet Explorer
Team: iexplore
I think there are no comments here. By entering this command you can launch the Internet browser, which is included in every version of Windows. “Why launch it?” - you may ask. Everything is simple, at least to download another browser :).
2) Paint
Command: mspaint
Helps launch the graphic editor built into Windows. It’s not always convenient (for example, in Windows 8) to search for an editor among the tiles when you can launch it so quickly.
Command: write
Useful text editor. If you don't have Microsoft Word on your PC, then it's an irreplaceable thing.
4) Administration
Command: control admintools
Useful command when setting up Windows.
5) Archiving and recovery
Command: sdclt
Using this function, you can make an archive copy or restore it. I recommend, at least sometimes, before installing drivers or “suspicious” programs, backups Windows.
6) Notepad
Command: notepad
Standard notepad in Windows. Sometimes, rather than looking for the notepad icon, you can launch it much faster with such a simple standard command.
7) Windows Firewall
Command: firewall.cpl
Fine-tuning the built-in firewall in Windows. It helps a lot when you need to disable it or give some application access to the network.
Team: rstrui
If your PC starts to run slower, freeze, etc. - then maybe it’s worth rolling it back to the time when everything worked well? Thanks to recovery, many errors can be corrected (however, some drivers or programs may be lost. Documents and files will remain in place).
Command: logoff
Standard logout. It may be necessary when the START menu is frozen (for example), or it simply does not have this item (this happens when installing various OS builds from “craftsmen”).
Command: timedate.cpl
For some users, if the icon with the time or date disappears, panic will begin... This command will help you set the time, date, even if you do not have these icons in the tray (changes may require administrator rights).
11) Disk defragmentation
Team: dfrgui
12) Windows Task Manager
Team:
By the way, the task manager is most often called up using the Ctrl+Shift+Esc buttons (just in case, there is a second option :)).
Command: devmgmt.msc
A very useful dispatcher (and a command in itself), you have to open it quite often in case of various problems in Windows. By the way, to open the device manager, you can spend a long time poking around in the control panel, or you can quickly and elegantly like this...
Command: shutdown /s
This command is for the most common shutdown of the computer. Useful in cases where the START menu does not respond to your presses.
15) Sound
Command: mmsys.cpl
Sound settings menu (without additional comments).
Team: joy.cpl
This tab is extremely necessary when you connect joysticks, steering wheels, and other gaming devices to your computer. Not only can you check them here, but also configure them for further full-fledged work.
Command: calc
This simple launch of the calculator helps save time (especially in Windows 8 or for those users where all standard shortcuts have been transferred).
Command: cmd
One of the most useful commands! The command line is often needed when solving all sorts of problems: with the disk, with the OS, with setting up the network, adapters, etc.
Command: msconfig
Very important tab! Helps you configure Windows startup, select the startup type, and indicate which programs should not be launched. In general, one of the tabs for detailed settings OS.
Command: perfmon /res
Used to diagnose and identify performance bottlenecks: hard drive, central processor networks, etc. In general, when your PC is slow, I recommend looking here...
21) Shared folders
Command: fsmgmt.msc
In some cases, than to look where these shared folders, it’s easier to gracefully type one command and look at them.
22) Disk Cleanup
Command: cleanmgr
Regularly clearing your disk of junk files can not only increase free space on it, but also somewhat speed up the performance of the entire PC as a whole. True, the built-in cleaner is not so skillful, so I recommend these:
23) Control panel
Command: control
Helps you open the standard Windows Control Panel. If the START menu is frozen (this happens when there are problems with Explorer)- in general, an irreplaceable thing!
24) “Downloads” folder
Team: downloads
Shortcut to open your downloads folder. To this folder by Windows default downloads all files (quite often many users search for where Windows saved the just downloaded file...).
Command: control folders
Setting up folder opening, display, etc. Very convenient when you need to quickly set up work with catalogs.
Command: shutdown /r
Reboots the computer. Attention! The computer will restart immediately without any questions about saving various data in open applications. It is recommended to enter this command when the “usual” way to restart the PC does not help.
Command: control schedtasks
Very useful thing when you want to set up a startup schedule certain programs. For example, to add some programs to startup in new Windows- it’s easier to do this through the task scheduler (also indicate how many minutes/seconds later to launch this or that program after turning on the PC).
Command: chkdsk
29) Explorer
Team:
Everything you see when you turn on your computer: desktop, taskbar, etc. - all this is displayed by Explorer, if you close it (the explorer process), then only . Sometimes explorer freezes and needs to be restarted. Therefore, this command is quite popular, I recommend remembering it...
Command: appwiz.cpl
This tab will allow you to familiarize yourself with the applications that are installed on your computer. Those that are not needed can be deleted. By the way, the list of applications can be sorted by installation date, name, etc.
Command: desk.cpl
A tab with screen settings will open, among the main ones is screen resolution. In general, in order not to search for a long time in the control panel, it is much faster to type this command (if you know it, of course).
32) Local Group Policy Editor
Command: gpedit.msc
Very useful command. Thanks to the Local Group Policy Editor, you can configure many settings that are hidden from view. I often refer to him in my articles...
Command: regedit
Another mega-useful command. Thanks to it you can quickly open system registry. Very often you have to edit incorrect information in the registry, delete old tails, etc. In general, with a wide variety of problems with the OS, it’s not possible to “not get into” the registry.
34) System information
Command: msinfo32
A very useful utility that will tell you literally everything about your computer: BIOS version, model motherboard, OS version, its bit depth, etc. There is a lot of information, it’s not for nothing that they say that this built-in utility can replace even some third party programs this genre. And in general, imagine, you went to a PC that wasn’t yours (you won’t install third-party software, and sometimes it’s impossible to do this) - and so, you launched it, looked at everything you needed, closed it...
Command: sysdm.cpl
Using this command you can change working group computer, PC name, launch device manager, configure performance, user profiles, etc.
36) Properties: Internet
Run command in Windows 7, 8 used for quick launch system utilities, programs, files and folders. An alternative to the Run command is the Start menu search, but it does not save a list of the most recently entered commands. To open the Run window in Windows 7, 8, you can use the following methods:
2. Get to the App Paths section (see the screenshot below for the full path).
3. Right-click App Paths. In the menu, point to "create" and then select "section".
4. Give the partition a name, for example torrent.exe (write the name with .exe) and click Enter.
5. Select the created parameter, then double-click on “default” on the right side. In the “value” field, enter the full path to your file (.exe) and click OK.
6. In the empty space area, right-click, point to "new" and click " string parameter" Name it Path. Double-click on Path with the left button and in the “value” area enter the path to the folder where the exe file, then click OK.
Close Registry Editor. Run "Run" and enter the name of the application to quickly open.
You now know what is the run command in Windows 7, 8, how to enable and disable it, and you also have an extended list of standard commands, and you can easily create a list of custom ones. I hope the article was useful and answered your questions.
