Excellent! A usenet version of yet another O'Reilly _Pocket Reference_.
Here's the commands in a handy comma-separated-variable format,

Hi Don Kuenz,
THANK YOU for adding value to share in this Usenet potluck topic!

I especially love the efficiency & unambiguous certainty of these
START-RUN commands, where, for example, the net is filled with
ambiguous results "search oriented" ways to do things as simple as...

WinKey+R . (opens to the user's home folder C:\users\home folder)
WinKey+R .. (opens to the C:\Users folder)
WinKey+R \ (opens to the top level File Explorer C:\ folder)

WinKey+R powershell Ctrl+Shift+Enter (opens an admin-level powershell)
WinKey+R powershell Enter (opens a user-level powershell)

WinKey+R cmd Ctrl+Shift+Enter (opens an admin-level command prompt)
WinKey+R cmd Enter (opens a user-level command prompt

Where I also share, for others to benefit from, that adding the
well-known AppPaths key as a "Favorite" in the Windows Registry,
and then populating that AppPaths key with your own custom commands
is an astoundingly efficient way to access your own new commands.

For example, if you have extensionless files set to open in an editor:
WinKey+R hosts
Will instantly open the hosts file for edit, if you add a unique key:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\hosts.exe
Where the value of that unique-to-your-system key is (for Win10)
"C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts"

Further improving upon your already added value, I was remiss in the OP
in not mentioning that you were the main catalyst which had prompted me
to grep my tutorials saved on my hard drives for the "Start Run" keywords,
in order to diff, sort, uniq, and cmp the top 250 commands used - where -
I assume - there are at least another 100 or so to go until we obtain
the complete list of commonly used Start Run commands on Windows.

After I saved your purposefully helpful start_run_commands.csv file,
I realized belatedly that _my_ original input contained syntactical
errors, which I fix below so that others sharing in this useful
potluck picnic (now and in the future) will benefit, as always.

I'm sure there are more errors & omissions - so please test & improve
so that everyone benefits from every action on Usenet, as always.

As always, please improve by sharing technical acumen so that we all
benefit from having a list of the top 333 (or so) most often used
Start Run commands on Windows.
