Run Commands for Windows 8
Hello!! I’m Harindu Madushanka. This is my first post to On HAX. All of us know that Windows 8 is the latest version of Windows Operating System. Do you remember that we used a lot of RUN Commands in Windows XP on those days. But now, the RUN option is hidden from Windows. Anyway you can open “RUN” window by pressing “Windows Key + R “. In my post today, I will give you a lot of RUN Commands which can be used in Windows 8. But some of them still can be used in Windows Xp and 7. I’ll post those commands below.
