If you press the Win + R key combination on Windows, the Run window will open, but what can you enter into it?

Question

cmd/bat

Typing cmd will open a command prompt, but is there anything else I can open with Run?

Answer 1

Any executable files from PATH
For example, cmd, explorer, msconfig, regedit, calc, gpedit.msc...
And that's just what I usually use.

Answer 2

Generally - the full command for start. In particular, you can enter the URL address or UNC path to the document, and this document will be opened in the program associated with its extension.

Answer 4

Everything that can be "performed" from the point of view of Windows:
The name of the executable file, including the full path
The name of the MSI package
The name of the document to open which the associated program will be used
...
and so on
The only inconvenience is that you need to know everything: ) For a mouse driver, this is usually a problem, up to an insurmountable one :)
