Executing enables the user to start programs by entering names, or to open complete program paths!
2.) How does the Run dialog know where the applications are on your system?
The Run dialog box can be a simple and very useful way to open programs on your computer.When you run a command in the Run dialog box, the system checks the registry keys for app paths here:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths
and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths
For example:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\Firefox.exe
The default values here have the full path to the executable file. If it is not found, every folder contained in the PATH will be displayed, while in the CMD (the Windows command prompt) does not refer to these registry keys, but only searches the PATH.
