Does anyone have the full list of hidden windows programs you can run from
the run... command ie. msconfig, services.msc, ETC.

You are using an out of date browser. It may not display this or other websites correctly.
You should upgrade or use an alternative browser.

Have a look in the registry:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths
Services.msc is not listed there because it's already in the
default path.

Doubtful.
If it is an executable - chances are you can run it from some sort of
command line.
Even if it isn't a traditional executable - it may be able to be ran in some
way from a command line.
This should get you going though..

If you type "set path" at a command prompt (start > run > cmd), you will see
a list of directories. If you open up one of those directories, and have a
look at the files they contain. You can enter any one of the filenames you
see in the start > run box and it will be opened.
Hence there could never be a fully comprehensive list, since you could add
any file you like to those directories and the programs they contain would
vary from user to user, depending on what programs were installed.

Note that the OP made specific reference to msconfig.exe.
It's not in the path yet it runs happily via the Start/Run box!

Yes, good point. Well spotted. In which case, the registry location you
posted initially would cover those particular entries.

Also anything located in Windows\System32 will run from run... tho its not
in that path, btw this paths can be easly edited or created in Control
Panel>System>Advanced>Enviroment Variables.

You should have c:\windows\system32 in your path.
[Type "set path" at a command prompt to double check]

Ok, sorry. Think I missed your point. Yes also applies to C:\windows\system
too. Even though it may not be in the path, explorer searches there too for
the name you enter.
