I think that's pretty much what the OP was looking for, in fact, I made a
copy of it, but, just to be complete:
The RUN command will run ANY executable file on the computer. If they're
not in the %path%, it may be necessary to add the path to the file, but
it'll still work.

Doesn't have to be in the PATH if listed in App Paths.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\
CurrentVersion\App Paths\somefile.exe
Value Name: Path
Data Type: REG_EXPAND_SZ
Value Data: Path to executable

And the extension does not need to be typed if listed in PATHEXT.

That's why iexplore, msimn, msinfo32, msconfig, etc. work without typing the
PATH or the extension.

C:\WINDOWS\PCHealth\HelpCtr\Binaries\MSConfig.exe

I do not know why eventvwr works. eventvwr.msc is in the PATH, but msc is
not in PATHEXT.

Even RegSvr32 /? in the Run command. Ctrl + C to copy the info.

You can also type folder paths and urls.

C:\WINDOWS\system32
or
\WINDOWS\system32
or
system32
or
fonts
or
tasks
or
%userprofile%
or
%TMP%
or
%TEMP%
or
%allusersprofile%
or
%appdata%
or

Start | Run | Type: . | Click OK opens %userprofile%

Start | Run | Type: .. | Click OK opens C:\Documents and Settings

Start | Run | Type: ... | Click OK opens My Computer

Start | Run | Type: \ | Click OK opens C:\ or the root folder

Because there is a eventvwr.exe in System32
 
Yepper. That's it.

eventvwr.exe = Event Viewer Snapin Launcher

eventvwr.exe or eventvwr.msc open the Event Viewer, that actually runs under
mmc.exe.

Even eventvwr /? typed in a command prompt opens the Event Viewer.
