With the Command Prompt open, type start winword and press Enter to open
Microsoft Word, start excel to launch Excel, and start mplayer2 to open
the old version of Windows Media Player (start wmplayer launches the
newer release). Here are some other application file names you might
find handy:
Internet Explorer: iexplore
Microsoft Outlook: outlook
Microsoft PowerPoint: powerpnt
Windows Explorer: explorer (or press the Windows key and E to open an Explorer window with My Computer highlighted)
Calculator: calc
Magnifier: magnify
Notepad: notepad
Paint: mspaint
Registry Editor: regedit
System Configuration Utility: msconfig
Tweak UI: tweakui
Windows Movie Maker: moviemk
WordPad: write
Most other applications can be launched simply by typing start and their name, such as "firefox", "thunderbird", "photoshop", "acrobat", and "itunes". To close the Command Prompt window, type exit and press Enter.
Of course, you can do much more from the command line than launch applications. The Microsoft TechNet site lists the commands available for system-management tasks, with descriptions of how to use them. But that's a subject for a future post.
