The Run box also known as the run command is a GUI console to directly type a command to open a directory, an application, and especially the Windows tools that are not readily available on the Control Panel. The Run option is not directly accessible through the Start menu of the Windows 8.1 unlike on the Windows XP, but you can right-click on the START button of the Windows 8.1 and access the Run option there. You can also use the Run box to open a website into the default browser by simply typing the web address and hit the ENTER key of the keyboard. All the commands that you type in the Run box are being recorded but you have the option to clear them.
