What it do

Windows + R opens ‘run’ there’s 1000 things you can do from there but here’s my favourites. You can get 90% of these through hitting start and searching but that search can suck someones and less animation means faster through a remote window.

Hit Control + Shift + Enter if you want to run as administrator, mostly for CMD.

Basic

  • Cmd - Command Prompt
  • Appwiz.cpl - Programs and Features, for uninstalling / repairing
  • Control Printers - Straight to printer settings
  • Control Panel - Guess
  • Regedit - Registry Editor
  • lusrmgr.msc - User management, mostly for turning off passwords expiring
  • devmgmt.msc - Device manager
  • eventvwr - Event viewer
  • %appdata% - Opens appdata (to roaming for some reason)
  • %localappdata% - Opens local appdata
  • . (Just a full stop) - Opens the user folder
