SuperUser阅读器mt025想知道“运行对话框”如何知道Windows系统PATH中没有应用程序的位置：

As a power user, I frequently use the Run Dialog. I can understand why the following commands work, as they are in the PATH environment variable.

作为高级用户，我经常使用“运行”对话框。 我能理解以下命令为何起作用，因为它们在PATH环境变量中 。

• mspaint
  mspaint
• diskmgmt.msc
  diskmgmt.msc
• explorer
  探险家

These commands also work in CMD.

这些命令也可以在CMD中使用。

The commands below work in the Run Dialog, but they are not in the PATH environment variable, and they do not work in CMD.

下面的命令在“运行”对话框中有效，但它们不在PATH环境变量中，并且在CMD中不起作用。

答案 (The Answer)

SuperUser contributor w32sh has the answer for us:

超级用户贡献者w32sh为我们提供了答案：

When you execute a command from the Run Dialog, the system looks at the App Paths registry keys here:

当您从“运行”对话框执行命令时，系统将在此处查看“应用程序路径”注册表项：

• HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths
  HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ App路径

and

和

• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ App路径

Example

例

• HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths\filezilla.exe
  HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ App Paths \ filezilla.exe

(Default) value data has the full path to the executable. If it is not found, it looks at each folder included in the PATH, whereas CMD (the Command Prompt) does not reference these registry keys, it only searches the PATH.

( 默认 )值数据具有可执行文件的完整路径。 如果找不到，它将查看PATH中包含的每个文件夹，而CMD(命令提示符)不引用这些注册表项，而是仅搜索PATH 。
