Over 250 Start Run commands (please improve this Start Run commands list)
UPDATE:
Start Run commands associated with the default Microsoft web browsers: o Win+R microsoft-edge:// == gives you a choice of Edge browsers if both o Win+R microsoft-edge: == brings up the current Edge browser if one o Win+R iexplore == brings up Internet Explorer (if enabled) o Win+R microsoft-edge:about:blank == opens default edge to a blank page o Win+R http://google.com == brings it up in the default browser o Win+R microsoft-edge://google.com == brings it up in the default Edge o Win+R cmd start microsoft-edge: == brings up the default Edge o Win+R cmd start microsoft-edge:http://google.com == opens that page o Win+R powershell start microsoft-edge: == brings up the default Edge o Win+R explorer microsoft-edge: == Windows file explorer address bar o Win+R shell:AppsFolder\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8 bbwe!MicrosoftEdge o Win+R %windir%\system32\cmd.exe /c "start microsoft-edge:http://google.com" o Win+R %comspec% /c start shell:AppsFolder\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8 bbwe!MicrosoftEdge http://google.com etc. Note: Those latter entries are useful to create TARGETs to specific web-page shortcuts, (where you can combine commands to quickly open any number of web pages): o What syntax combines 2 commands into a single shortcut TARGET line? https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/alt.msdos.batch/azQbz6D_v0Y You can even create an "edge" command to enable "Win+R edge", e.g., o Win+R shell:appsfolder o Create a System32 (path) shortcut named "newedge" and "oldedge". o Win+R newedge == you can also add to the "app paths" registry key See details in: o Tutorial to set up 3 Microsoft web browsers to work concurrently https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/alt.comp.freeware/fZlJTYRxYFg And in: o Over 250 Start Run commands (please improve this Start Run commands list) https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/microsoft.public.windowsxp.general/cc1lGn3ty0E -- Every post to Usenet archives should help someone now & in the future. |

Why do the win10 instruction pages encourage people strongly to use the search window (that appears when you press the windows key or click the Start button) to enter commands? When if you know the name of the command iiiuc you can enter it in the Run box, Winkey+R is one way, and then it will be saved for future use. The way the instructions do it, using the search box, if you misspell some long command, like "firefox -profilemanager" you have to type it over from the beginning. OTOH in the Run box there is a list of all the commands y ou've used successfully, so you only have to select, not type. And if you have a bad memory like me, you don't have to remember much because you can find it in the list. BTW, I have no Cortana search icon since all you have to do is start typing at the right point, and that, in and of itself, runs a search. (So you don't need the wasted space of the "search" GUI since it's always there.)

From the number of times I've seen lengthy instructions on how to search for commands and even then, how to navigate through a stream of GUIs to get to the final command, I suspect most instructions don't know the command. For example, how many times have you seen convoluted instructions for running something like sysdm.cpl in a given tab of a given wizard, which can be summarized as the single "Win+R" command below? o Win+R systempropertiesprotection Likewise, how many times have to seen convoluted instructions for opening up an admin command window, when it's as simple as the following? o Win+R cmd {control+shift+enter} You'll note I _always_ write tutorials using the "Win+R" commands if I know them, which means my tutorials contain around 300 (by now) Win+R commands. o Here are over 250 Win+R Run commands to set your shortcut TARGET to https://groups.google.com/d/msg/microsoft.public.windowsxp.general/cc1lGn3ty0E In summary, I think they simply don't know what we know. -- Together we know more than any one of us can possibly know being all alone. |

So that others benefit, I wrote this simple tutorial up to create a new
command named "task" (never use plurals, for simplicity), which brings up the task scheduler in Windows. 0. Typing these brings up the task scheduler; but they're hard to remember. o Win+R %windir%\system32\taskschd.msc /s o Win+R taskschd.msc /s o Win+R taskschd.msc etc. This is easier to remember: o Win+R task 1. Create a new shortcut that runs the task scheduler: FILESPEC=c:\app\os\shortcut\task.lnk TARGET=%windir%\system32\taskschd.msc /s STARTIN=%windir%\system32 Note: Choose your own desired logical locations & shortcut name. 2. Create an AppPaths registry key value pair pointing to that command: [HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\] task.exe=c:\app\os\shortcut\task.lnk Note: Choose your own desired command name (it must end with ".exe"). 3. Test: Win+R task Voila! -- Note: Test each phase in series, as you run through the steps, e.g., a. Before you do anything, make sure "Win+R task" doesn't do anything. b. Paste the desired command into the Run box to make sure it works. c. When you create the task.lnk shortcut, doubleclick it to test it. d. When you create the AppPaths key, run it in the Run box to test it. |

Tutorial to add a killswitch to block those software installations
which may phone home during or after installation. Please improve so that all benefit from every action you take. o Note: Use whatever names & locations make sense for your setup. 1. Download any killswitch batch file, e.g., liquidvpn's killswitch: https://www.liquidvpn.com/vpn-kill-switches/ That freeware batch text file can be downloaded with this URL: https://my.liquidvpn.com/dl.php?type=d&id=49 Name: LiquidVPN-Kill-Switch.bat Size: 2747 bytes (2 KiB) SHA256: 933B7BD76EECB04D57A1A55E972C868D0460EB21021C16ED0A BC0B02EBD532A7 Save it into your software archive location & rename as desired: X:\archive\os\bat\gateway.bat 2. Test & modify that gateway killswitch batch file as desired. For example, rename & copy to "c:\app\os\bat\gateway.bat" Modify the default gateway IP address, if needed. Modify the commands presented to the user, if desired. etc. 3. Create & test a (temporary) new shortcut to run that new batch command: FILESPEC = c:\app\os\lnk\gateway.lnk TARGET = C:\app\os\bat\gateway.bat STARTIN = C:\app\os\bat == this doesn't really matter Note that when you run the shortcut, a Windows UAC consent form pops up. 4. Point to that shortcut in the system registry AppPaths key: [HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\] gateway.exe=c:\app\os\lnk\gateway.lnk Note: Choose any desired key name not in use (it must end with ".exe"). 5. Test the new command you just created: Win+R gateway NOTE: While it works, the UAC Account Control Consent prompt pops up. 6. Create a scheduled task so that you can eliminate the UAC consent prompt. Win+R %windir%\system32\taskschd.msc /s Create a new basic task (where the exact name is important for use later!) Name = UAC Gateway Task [x]Run with highest privileges == this removes the UAC consent prompt Start a program = c:\app\os\bat\gateway.bat 7. Modify the original shortcut to now call that scheduled task: FILESPEC = c:\app\os\lnk\gateway.lnk TARGET = C:\Windows\System32\schtasks.exe /run /TN "UAC Gateway Task" STARTIN = C:\app\os\bat == this doesn't really matter 8. Test the scheduled task which now eliminates the UAC consent prompt: Win+R gateway Voila! You now can set & unset the gateway without a UAC consent prompt. 9. If desired, copy that shortcut into your cascade accordion menu: c:\menu\os\lnk\gateway.lnk Which is already permanently pinned to your taskbar as a "toolbar".

To round out the tutorial, create a new "registry" command
which works alongside regedit.exe to provide UAC-free access. Results: o Win+R registry This new command points to an existing Windows command (to open the registry sans UAC prompts). o Win+R task This new command points to an existing Windows applet (to open the task manager sans UAC prompts). o Win+R gateway This new command points to a new batch command (to kill/restart the gateway sans UAC prompts). 1. Test that the command you'll invoke already exists in Windows: o Win+R %windir%\regedit.exe Note: This should bring up the registry editor (after UAC assent). 2. Test that the command you'll create doesn't currently exist: o Win+R registry Note: It should error saying "Windows cannot find 'registry'. 3. Create a new shortcut that runs the desired command: FILESPEC = c:\app\os\lnk\registry.lnk TARGET = %windir%\regedit.exe STARTIN = %windir% == this doesn't seem to matter 4. Test your new (temporary) shortcut: o Win+R c:\app\os\lnk\registry.lnk Note: This should bring up the registry editor (after UAC assent). 5. Create an AppPaths registry key value pair pointing to that command: [HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\] registry.exe = c:\app\os\lnk\registry.lnk 6. Test your new command name: o Win+R registry Note: This should bring up the registry editor (after UAC). 7. Create a new background task which runs without invoking UAC access: Win+R %windir%\system32\taskschd.msc /s Rightclick on "Task Scheduler Library" Create Task [General] Name = UAC Regedit Task [General] [x]Run with highest privileges [Actions] [New] Start a program [Actions] Program/script: %windir%\regedit.exe [OK][OK] Registry:File Exit Note: If you prefer to also attain focus, then substitute this: Win+R %windir%\system32\taskschd.msc /s Rightclick on "Task Scheduler Library" Create Task [General] Name = UAC Regedit Task [General] [x]Run with highest privileges [Actions] [New] Start a program [Actions] Program/script: %comspec% [Actions] Add arguments (optional) = /c start "" regedit.exe [OK][OK] Registry:File Exit 8. Modify the shortcut to run that task sans invoking UAC access assent: FILESPEC = c:\app\os\lnk\registry.lnk TARGET = C:\Windows\System32\schtasks.exe /run /TN "UAC Regedit Task" STARTIN = %windir% == I don't think this matters 9. Copy that shortcut to your taskbar cascade accordion menu: copy c:\app\os\lnk\registry.lnk c:\menu\os\lnk\registry.lnk 10.

They can spend a hundred words telling you how to find it in "search", b.

How to skip the UAC prompt for that multi-command shortcut For example, on my system, these types of efficient commands work fine: o Win+R regedit (this is what everyone is familiar with) o Win+R regopen (this opens the registry without any other prompt) o Win+R regjump key (this opens up that very key from the run command) etc. -- Windows tricks enable you do be more efficient if you just know how. |

The MMC panels (.msc files) are also handy to have shortcuts. Some are described at the article below, but some won't run on Home edition of Windows, especially those that affect policies, and you cannot define shortcuts for some because the Home edition doesn't have a matching file: http://www.auditiait.es/en/list-of-commands-msc/ There's also creating the God mode folder which will show all the Control Panel wizards in a grouped flat list. Create a new folder and name it: GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} For the pagefile settings, you'd go into this folder and scroll down to System - View advanced system setting. Alas, although you can right- click on this folder to Pin to Start menu, the folder won't show up there. However, I created a new folder (Control Panel shortcuts) and dragged the God.Mode folder inside that, along with all the above quick shortcuts. I then right-clicked on my Control Panel shortcuts folder and pinned that to the Start menu. To get acquainted with the Windows 10 wizards, I try using them. However, sometimes I give up drilling through all the wizards, and go back to my Control Panel shortcuts folder (which also has the CPL and MSC shortcuts). -- See also: o Tutorial for creating a "god mode" Run command for Windows 7 & up https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/alt.comp.microsoft.windows/Dn2SYf9TtIU o Over 250 Start Run commands (please improve this Start Run commands list) https://groups.google.com/d/msg/microsoft.public.windowsxp.general/cc1lGn3ty0E/DH_FxVCjAAAJ |

Certainly we can get to the control panel "System" in a single step. o Win+R control /name Microsoft.System 3. Just as certainly, we can get to "System Properties" in a single step. o Win+R control sysdm.cpl 4. Even better, we can get to its "Advanced" tab in a single step. o Win+R SystemPropertiesAdvanced.exe 5. From there, we can follow through: o Win+R systempropertiesadvanced Performance (section): [Settings...] Advanced (tab) Virtual memory (section): [Change...] 6. But even better, we can lop off a step from the above sequence: o Win+R systempropertiesperformance Advanced [Change...] Note: I tried to get to the "Advanced" tab in one step, but failed. |
