Run command

Run command

On the Microsoft Windows operating system, the Run command is used to directly open an application or document whose path is known. It functions more or less like a single-line command line interface.

Accessing the Run command

Starting with Windows 95, the Run command is accessible through the Start menu and also through the shortcut key. (Windows key + R) Although the command is still present in Windows Vista, it no longer appears directly on the Start menu by default, in favor of the new search box and a shortcut to the Run command in the Accessories sub-menu.-KB

BASIC programming language

Run is also the command in the BASIC programming language that is used to start the execution of a program.

Uses
