Run Commands
A run command is simply the name given to an executable for a
particular Windows-based program.
A run command is not a command in the strictest sense - it's
more like a shortcut. In fact, the shortcuts that live in your Start Menu or on
your Start Screen are usually nothing more than an icon representation of the
executable for the program - basically a run command with a picture.
For example, the run command for Paint, the painting and drawing
program in Windows, is mspaint and can be run from the Run box or
Search box, or even from the Command Prompt, but Paint is obviously not a
command line program.
Some other examples are bit more confusing. The run command for
Remote Desktop Connection, for example, is mstsc but this run command does have some
command line switches that make opening the program with specific parameters
very easy. However, Remote Desktop Connection is not a program designed for the
command-line so it's not really a command.
