Run Commands

Here are the promised prompt commands after triggering the run command Window Key + R)

‘cmd’ = Opens the command prompt terminal. It’s the same as saying it’ll open the DOS window and make it look like you’re doing shell programming. Change the color scheme of your prompt and you can actually fool those who hover over you that you’re doing scripts without GUI.

‘control’ = Opens the Control Panel
‘control printers’ = Opens the Printers Dialog

The following are prompt commands that open Microsoft applications.
calc = Calculator
wmplayer = Windows Media Player
iexplore + "web address" = Internet Explorer
excel = Microsoft Excel
msaccess = Microsoft Access (If Installed)
powerpnt = Microsoft PowerPoint
winword = Microsoft Word (If Installed)
notepad = Notepad
wordpad = WordPad
mspaint = Paint

You can manipulate different system setups or if you’re too bored, then totally mess up your system configuration by typing the following commands.

eventvwr = Event Viewer
msinfo32 = System Information
ntbackup = Backup or Restore Wizard (Windows Backup Utility)
mmc = Microsoft Management Console
cleanmgr = Disk Cleanup
rstrui = System Restore

If the previous commands weren’t enough there’s always the registry to totally zap your workstation useless depending on your mood.

Type ‘regedit’ and blast off anything you want.

Now given these tools, you are now credible to manipulate your machine, give IT a hardtime and possibly lose your job. Just make sure that you don’t go near (not even stare at) my workstation.
