Whenever I find myself with a tech expert or a technical person on the computer system, I can see that they use the run command and they use most of the work in a computer without even using the mouse. I kinda liked that and made a practice of using it and I thought it is quite easy and interesting. And also that this process is faster than dragging or hovering a mouse to the location of an icon and clicking over.
Here, the following are some must-know run commands shortcuts for easy access to the system in an efficient way.
