[1] This run command can not be executed from the Command Prompt because the file is
not in the default Windows path. However, it can be run from the Windows Search box or
the Run box.
[2] The dvdplay run command opens Windows Media Player and automatically starts to play
the DVD movie in the primary DVD drive.
[3] You must follow the fontview 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 is not available in 64-bit versions of Windows 7.

The command line is often the best place to resolve Windows 7 desktop problems. These basic
commands will help speed your troubleshooting tasks.
Holiday rerun: An oldie-but-a-goodie, these command-line basics topped the list of popular
troubleshooter posts last year.
PC troubleshooting is becoming less common in larger organizations, but consultants and techs
in smaller shops still have to get their hands dirty identifying and fixing desktop problems.
Oftentimes, troubleshooting Windows 7 means delving into the command line. Here are 10
fundamental Windows 7 commands you might find helpful.
Before I begin...
This article is intended solely as an introduction to some useful troubleshooting commands.
Many of them offer numerous optional switches, which I won't cover here due to space
limitations. You can find out more about each command by checking out TechNet's command-
line reference.
1: System File Checker
Malicious software will often attempt to replace core system files with modified versions in an
effort to take control of the system. The System File Checker can be used to verify the integrity
of the Windows system files. If any of the files are found to be missing or corrupt, they will be
replaced. You can run the System File Checker by using this command:
sfc /scannow
2: File Signature Verification
One way to verify the integrity of a system is to make sure that all the system files are digitally
signed. You can accomplish this with the File Signature Verification tool. This tool is launched
from the command line but uses a GUI interface. It will tell you which system files are signed
and which aren't. As a rule, all the system files should be digitally signed, although some
hardware vendors don't sign driver files. The command used to launch the File Signature
Verification tool is:
sigverif
3: Driverquery
Incorrect device drivers can lead to any number of system problems. If you want to see which
drivers are installed on a Windows 7 system, you can do so by running the driverquery tool. This
simple command-line tool provides information about each driver that is being used. The
command is:
driverquery
If you need a bit more information, you can append the -v switch. Another option is to append
the -si switch, which causes the tool to display signature information for the drivers. Here's how
they look:
driverquery -v
driverquery -si
4: Nslookup
The nslookup tool can help you to verify that DNS name resolution is working correctly. When
you run nslookup against a host name, the tool will show you how the name was resolved, as
well as which DNS server was used during the lookup. This tool can be extremely helpful when
troubleshooting problems related to legacy DNS records that still exist but that are no longer
correct.
To use this tool, just enter the nslookup command, followed by the name of the host you want to
resolve. For example:
nslookup dc1.contoso.com
5: Ping
Ping is probably the simplest of all diagnostic commands. It's used to verify basic TCP/IP
connectivity to a network host. To use it, simply enter the command, followed by the name or IP
address of the host you want to test. For example:
ping 192.168.1.1
Keep in mind that this command will work only if Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP)
traffic is allowed to pass between the two machines. If at any point a firewall is blocking ICMP
traffic, the ping will fail.
6: Pathping
Ping does a good job of telling you whether two machines can communicate with one another
over TCP/IP, but if a ping does fail, you won't receive any information regarding the nature of
the failure. This is where the pathping utility comes in.
Pathping is designed for environments in which one or more routers exist between hosts. It
sends a series of packets to each router that's in the path to the destination host in an effort to
determine whether the router is performing slowly or dropping packets. At its simplest, the
syntax for pathping is identical to that of the ping command (although there are some optional
switches you can use). The command looks like this:
pathping 192.168.1.1
7: Ipconfig
The ipconfig command is used to view or modify a computer's IP addresses. For example, if you
wanted to view a Windows 7 system's full IP configuration, you could use the following
command:
ipconfig /all
Assuming that the system has acquired its IP address from a DHCP server, you can use the
ipconfig command to release and then renew the IP address. Doing so involves using the
following commands:
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
Another handy thing you can do with ipconfig is flush the DNS resolver cache. This can be
helpful when a system is resolving DNS addresses incorrectly. You can flush the DNS cache by
using this command:
ipconfig /flushdns
8: Repair-bde
If a drive that is encrypted with BitLocker has problems, you can sometimes recover the data
using a utility called repair-bde. To use this command, you will need a destination drive to which
the recovered data can be written, as well as your BitLocker recovery key or recovery password.
The basic syntax for this command is:
repair-bde <source> <destination> -rk | rp <source>
You must specify the source drive, the destination drive, and either the rk (recovery key) or the
rp (recovery password) switch, along with the path to the recovery key or the recovery
password. Here are two examples of how to use this utility:
repair-bde c: d: -rk e:\recovery.bek
repair-bde c: d: -rp 111111-111111-111111-111111-111111-111111
9: Tasklist
The tasklist command is designed to provide information about the tasks that are running on a
Windows 7 system. At its most basic, you can enter the following command:
tasklist
The tasklist command has numerous optional switches, but there are a couple I want to
mention. One is the -m switch, which causes tasklist to display all the DLL modules associated
with a task. The other is the -svc switch, which lists the services that support each task. Here's
how they look:
tasklist -m
tasklist -svc
10: Taskkill
The taskkill command terminates a task, either by name (which is referred to as the image
name) or by process ID. The syntax for this command is simple. You must follow the taskkill
command with -pid (process ID) or -im (image name) and the name or process ID of the task
that you want to terminate. Here are two examples of how this command works:
taskkill -pid 4104
taskkill -im iexplore.exe

Hey Guys!
Ok, so I noticed that it is very hard to find a proper list of all common windows 7 command line
commands. So I decided to make a list myself. Also I added the use of some common
commands and tips about the windows 7 command-line at the end of the post. Even though it
might look scary at first for newbies, command-line can be very useful.

Windows 7 Command-Line Tips and Tricks

Open CMD anywhere:
Go to the place in question in Windows Explorer, then press Shift + Right-Click. You will now
notice that in the list of options, there will appear "Open command Windows here."

Open an Elevated Command Prompt:
Click on Start and in the search bar, type "cmd". Press on Ctrl + Shift + Enter. Click on "Yes"
when User Account Control pops up. You will now notice that you are in
C:\WINDOWS\system32.

Drag and Drop to Command Prompt:
From Windows Explorer, you can drag and drop files into an open Command Prompt. That will
display the full pathname to the file in question. Plus, if you Enter, you can execute the file.

Copy and paste from the command line:
Right-Click and select Mark. Now, drag over the area you want to copy, hit Enter and the text
is copied to the clipboard. Similarly, you can click on the icon in the title bar and choose Paste to
paste the text you already have on the clipboard.

Hit F7 for command line history:
Hit F7 and you will get a complete list of commands that you executed. Use the arrow keys to
highlight the command you want to run again or just hit the number key corresponding to the
command that you want to execute.

Run multiple commands:
You can run multiple command by separating them with &&. Note that this doesnt run the
commands simultaneously. Instead, the command towards the left is run first and if it completes
successfully then the second command will run. If the first command fails, then the second
command will not run.

Ex: MKDIR C:\FOLDER && RD C:\FOLDER

Go fullscreen:
Hit Alt+Enter and now you have the entire screen to enter your commands and view the output.
Sadly. this doesnt always work.

Navigate the HDD:
To go somewhere on the HDD, type CD C:\%Where you want to go%. You can also type
CD %where you want to go INSIDE the dir%.

Will be adding new tips and tricks soon

So that's it! Please comment and tell me if you would like to add a new tip. Also please tell me
which commands you would like to see highlighted!

How to use MSCONFIG in Windows 7
Here is how to use MSCONFIG in Windows 7 to disable some of the unnecessary programs
that automatically load on start-up. Disabling these programs will help your computer
boot faster and crash less. [For step-by-step instructions on how to use MSCONFIG in other
versions of Windows, please visit my main How to Use MSCONFIG page.]
1. Click on the Windows 7 start icon in the bottom left corner of your screen.

2. Type MSCONFIG in the search box and then either press enter on your keyboard or
double-click on the MSCONFIG program that appears in the search results.

4. Windows 7 will launch Microsoft's System Configuration Utility. Click on the Startup
tab.

4. This takes you to a page with a list of "startup items." Startup items are programs that
are automatically loaded every time you turn on your computer. Some startup programs
are absolutely necessary, others are simply a waste of RAM.

In Windows 7, allmost all of Windows' essential programs are loaded through something
called "Windows Services." This means that most of the startup items you see in Windows
7 are completely optional and can be turned off. However, a good rule of thumb is to
disable only those programs that you recognize and don't need to have running all the
time. When in doubt, leave it on. Or, better still, check out Paul "PacMan" Collins' huge
"Startup Applications" list at http://www.pacs-portal.co.uk/startup_search.php. This list
of over 25,000 startup items you may encounter in MSCONFIG tells you which items are
absolutely necessary, which items are optional, and which items you should definitely
uncheck.
Here's a good example. On my computer I have installed Apple's Quicktime player. For
some reason or other, Quicktime decided that it should always be running on my
computer even when I am not using the program. That's silly. To prevent Quicktime from
automatically starting every time I boot my computer, I ran MSCONFIG and unchecked
"Quicktime." That's it.
Remember, disable only those programs that you recognize and don't need to have
running all the time. When in doubt, leave it on.
5. Click on the OK button.
6. A message will pop up telling you that you must restart your computer before these
changes will take effect. Click on "Restart" and your computer will automatically reboot.

7. That's it! Your computer should now boot faster and crash less.
And if you ever want to turn on any of the startup items you disabled with MSCONFIG, just
run MSCONFIG again.
Using System Configuration
(msconfig)
Windows 8.1/Windows RT 8.1 Windows 7 Windows Vista Windows 8.1/Windows RT 8.1

Windows 8.1/Windows RT 8.1

Windows 7

Windows Vista

Open System Configuration by swiping in from the right edge of the screen, tapping Search (or if
you're using a mouse, pointing to the upper-right corner of the screen, moving the mouse pointer
down, and then clicking Search), entering msconfig in the search box, and then tapping or clicking
msconfig. You might be asked for an admin password or to confirm your choice.
Tab Description
TabGeneral DescriptionLists choices for startup configuration modes:
Normal startup. Starts Windows in the usual manner. Use this mode to start Windows
after you're done using the other two modes to troubleshoot the problem.

Diagnostic startup. Starts Windows with basic services and drivers only. This mode
can help rule out basic Windows files as the problem.

To start Windows in Diagnostic startup mode
On the General tab, tap or click Diagnostic startup, tap or click OK, and then
tap or click Restart.
If the problem occurs, then basic Windows files or drivers might be damaged. To
learn more about troubleshooting this problem, see How to refresh, reset, or
restore your PC.
If the problem doesn't occur, then use Selective startup mode to try to find the
problem by turning individual services and startup apps on or off.
Selective startup. Starts Windows with basic services and drivers and the other
services and startup apps that you select.
Tab Description

To start Windows in Selective startup mode
1. On the General tab, tap or click Selective startup, and then clear the Load
system services and Load startup items check boxes.
2. Select the Load system services check box, tap or click OK, and then tap or
click Restart.
3. If the problem occurs after restarting, do one or both (if necessary) of the
following tasks:
Identify the system service that's causing the problem.
Tap or click the Services tab, tap or click Disable all, select the check box
for the first service that's listed, and then restart your PC. If the problem
doesn't occur, then you can eliminate the first service as the cause of the
problem.
With the first service selected, select the second service check box, and then
restart the PC.
Repeat this process until you reproduce the problem. If you can't reproduce
the problem, then you can eliminate system services as the cause of the
problem.
Identify the startup item that's causing the problem.
Tap or click the Startup tab, and tap or click Open Task Manager.
Turn off all startup items except the first one by tapping or clicking each
startup item, and then tapping or clicking Disable. Restart your PC. If the
problem doesn't occur, then you can eliminate the first startup item as the
cause of the problem.
With the first startup item selected, tap or click the second startup item, and
then tap or click Enable. Restart your PC. Repeat this process until you
reproduce the problem.
TabBoot DescriptionShows configuration options for the operating system and advanced debugging
settings, including:
Safe boot: Minimal. On startup, opens the Windows graphical user interface (File
Explorer) in safe mode running only critical system services. Networking is disabled.
Safe boot: Alternate shell. On startup, opens the Windows command prompt in safe
Tab Description
mode running only critical system services. Networking and File Explorer are disabled.
Safe boot: Active Directory repair. On startup, opens File Explorer in safe mode
running critical system services and Active Directory.
Safe boot: Network. On startup, opens File Explorer in safe mode running only critical
system services. Networking is enabled.
No GUI boot. Doesn't display the Windows Welcome screen when starting.
Boot log. Stores all information from the startup process in the file
%SystemRoot%Ntbtlog.txt.
Base video. On startup, opens File Explorer in minimal VGA mode. This loads
standard VGA drivers instead of video drivers specific to the video hardware on the PC.
OS boot information. Shows driver names as drivers are being loaded during the
startup process.
Timeout. Determines how long the boot menu is displayed before the default boot
entry is automatically selected. The default is set to 30 seconds.
Make all boot settings permanent. Doesn't track changes made in System
Configuration. Options can be changed later using System Configuration, but must be
changed manually. When this option is selected, you can't roll back your changes by
selecting Normal startup on the General tab.
Advanced options:
Number of processors. Limits the number of processors used on a multiprocessor
system. If the check box is selected, the system boots using only the number of
processors in the drop-down list.
Maximum memory. Specifies the maximum amount of physical memory used by the
operating system to simulate a low memory configuration. The value in the text box is
megabytes (MB).
PCI Lock. Prevents Windows from reallocating I/O and IRQ resources on the PCI bus.
The I/O and memory resources set by the BIOS or UEFI are preserved.
Debug. Enables kernel-mode debugging for device driver development. For more info,
go to the Windows Driver Kit website.
Global debug settings. Specifies the debugger connection settings on this PC for a
kernel debugger to communicate with a debugger host. The debugger connection
Tab Description
between the host and target PCs can be Serial, IEEE 1394, or USB.
Debug port. Specifies using Serial as the connection type and the serial port. The
default port is COM 1.
Baud rate. Specifies the baud rate to use when Debug port is selected and the debug
connection type is Serial. This setting is optional. Valid values for baud are 9600,
19,200, 38,400, 57,600, and 115,200. The default baud rate is 115,200 bps.
Channel. Specifies using 1394 as the debug connection type and specifies the channel
number to use. The value for channel must be a decimal integer between 0 and 62,
inclusive, and must match the channel number used by the host PC. The channel
specified doesn't depend on the physical 1394 port chosen on the adapter. The default
value for channel is 0.
USB target name. Specifies a string value to use when the debug connection type is
USB. This string can be any value.
TabServices DescriptionLists all of the services that start when the PC starts, along with their current
status (Running or Stopped). Use the Services tab to enable or disable individual services at
startup to troubleshoot which services might be contributing to startup problems.
Select Hide all Microsoft services to show only third-party apps in the services list. Clear
the check box for a service to disable it the next time you start the PC. If you've chosen
Selective startup on the General tab, you must either choose Normal startup on the General
tab or select the services check box to start it again at startup.
Warning Disabling services that normally run at startup might cause some apps to stop
working or result in system instability. Don't disable services in this list unless you know
they're not essential to your PC's operation. Selecting Disable all won't disable some
Microsoft services required for the operating system to start.
TabStartup DescriptionYou can now manage startup items in Task Manager. The Startup tab in Task
Manager lists apps and services that run when the PC starts up, along with the name of their
publisher, status, and startup impact.
