I recently found the following list of all windows run commands in a computer magazine.
These commands are useful to start something quickly without going into hierarchy of menus or windows. Just press Windows Key + R to open the Run window and type in the required command.
These commands also come handy when the explorer crashes and you are left without any taskbar or icons. In that case you have to press Ctrl+Del+Delete to open the Task Manager and select "New Task(Run...)" from File menu and enter the command.
