A List of some Run Commands
I recently was creating a kiosk with only an internet explorer shell in the registry and had to quickly learn a lot of run commands, as it was the only way to access controls on local computers. While most of the policies were pushed out through the group policy I created, I still needed to access some local computer controls.
I figured it would be nice to have a list of run commands. It is a bit long and some of them are familiar, while others are not.
