Execute Command in Run Window

[Mr Bob]

Instead of opening a cmd window and typing in something like "ping anandtech.com"

I would like to type that into the run window, prior to opening up the command prompt.


I tried doing things like "Start -> Run -> " then typed:
cmd -> ping anandtech.com

but that doesn't automatically populate the cmd window with ping anandtech.com

Anyone know how to do this? I'm pretty sure it is possible.

Nevermind, figured it out!

Add a /k to the cmd command and it works

So:

cmd /k ping anandtech.com

Would work in the example above.
