Just hit Win+R and type the one line command in the box, and click OK.

Sidenote: Disadvantage of that, is that the output isn't visible anymore after the command completes, might you need that.

Another sidenote: to run an internal command* like "dir" from Win-R, precede it with cmd /k.

The /k takes care of leaving the cmd window open so you can see if it worked or not, otherwise you can use /c instead.

* "internal" meaning it is inside cmd.exe vs a separate executable

Well, now I'll show my noob qualities again :D

No-one told me I had to type in cmd as well as the 'dir etc etc' in the run dialogue

:)

It's just getting easier all the time ;-)

thanks everyone :up: :)

It's really kind of an age test, I just remember because I often had to put in a 5.25" diskette in the drive to get back to the command line because it had command.com on it. The other executables were on the other diskette. That was back in the DOS 2.0 days.  ;)
