    Look kiddies. This is your computer on drugs. ;)

    If an application isn't on this list... it means it's the devil.

    Seriously. Just run scans and watch what you install and you shouldn't need to consult ImaGiNe's list of doom.

    Why would you want to "run" them?

    The only run commands ANY person not familiar with Operating Systems and programming languages should be running are:

    msconfig
    explorer.exe
    ipconfig

    haha its a good way to mess with school computers,

    usualy u are banned from accessing certain things including cmd but there are secret ways to get to it, then u can change your system settings just to mess with things its funny (im talking about school comps bad to do on your own)

    if u want to make a cmd file just open notepad type in "command" and save it as cmd.bat under all file types and u got access to all sorts of things.
