156 Useful Run Commands

About a year ago now, I wrote an article for FixMyXP, called 99 Useful Run Commands. Over the course of the year, this article has brought in an enormous amount of traffic and really put FixMyXP on the map, over 140,000 hits. This article even has been plagerized numerous times (other websites copying and pasting into their websites, and claiming it as their own). Because there was so much interest in this topic, I revisited it a few times (raising the total number of Run Commands from 99 to 113). I felt it was time again, to update. I was suprised that I was able to add an addtional 43 more Run Commands, bringing the total to 156! I hope you enjoy!

The Alerter subkey stores configuration data for the Alerter service. This service sends messages to users warning them of impending resource, security, or access problems on the server. The messages appear in a message box on the user's display. Typically, the Alerter service alerts users when a printer is running out of paper or the disk on a file server is nearly full.
