WINDOWS RUN COMMANDS

Do in a matter of few clicks and text what will normally take several clicks to perform. There are, however, tools and utilities that I bet you never knew you had that can be accessed through the Run feature. The main reason most people don’t use the Run feature is because they don’t know the Commands.Some of these commands are not known to regular XP user and I strongly advise you to use only the ones you are sure of.
