In this post I am sharing about awesome windows run command shortcuts. Using shortcuts save your time, rather then doing clicking clicking clicking kind of work.
After a gap of nearly 5-6 years, today I login in Windows 8 system. I tried my hands on forgotten run commands shortcuts, which I used to apply on Windows XP systems. Glad to see some of these tricks still working and rocking. I am always a command line lover and today sharing my oldies tricks with you.
You may be surprised to see my this post on Windows. I believe this is my first post on Windows also. Our blog is grown and already reach to some user expectation . Hence, I decided to write something useful for Windows users also (some of you may be thinking to migrate to Linux O.S). I hope some of them liked it and at the end share your tips as well.
