Many Windows 7 run command lists online incorrectly include Command Prompt commands or Control Panel "commands" as run commands, when technically they are not.

The Small Print

There are a few Windows 7 run commands that work differently in some situations, or not at all from one command line interface to another in Windows.

For example, a number of executables can only be run from the Run box and not Command Prompt, and some others are only available in certain versions of Windows 7.

• [1] This command can't be executed from the Command Prompt because the file isn't in the default Windows path. However, it can be run from the search or Run box.
• [2] The display run command opens Windows Media Player and automatically starts to play the DVD movie in the primary disc drive.
• [3] You must follow the font view run command with the name of the font that you wish to see.
• [4] When you execute the regedt32 run command, it simply forwards to regedit and executes that program instead. Two distinct versions of Registry Editor did exist in some earlier versions of Windows.
• [5] This run command isn't available in 64-bit versions of Windows 7.
