First we start by talking about what is the need for doing partition for a hard disk.With out saying the advantages of having different partitions in your hard disk i will say the disadvantages of having only one partition.Every one saves a lot of important stuff and will also be very careful while surfing internet but in these days it is very easy to get attacked by a virus.So if there is no chance of preventing it, we keep the important stuff away from viruses.i mean if we partition hard disk in such a way that the OS files are kept in a different partition from the important files which we want to store.A virus can be removed if it doesn't attack our OS files some how by deleting the file it attacks or by scanning it using online antivirus softwares or by any wares offline but removing a virus which attacks our system files cannot be removed because we cant delete our system files if we do so it becomes the situation of cutting the branch on which we are sitting so we cant do that.So i recommend you to partition your hard drive so that if virus attacks your system or any other thing happens to your OS your directly format your OS which is in a specific partition by getting no effect to any of your data.I think its enough and i might have bored you.Here is the way to format your harddrive in windows.

While partitioning you may increase your partition size or decrease it.First i will tell you how to decrease i.e. shrink the volume and then i about extending it.

Step 1:

Right click on the My computer icon and click on Manage option and wait until a window opens showing you disk management option in the sidepane it will look like this.Click on the disk management option .

What is Run Command in Windows ??

On the Microsoft Windows operating system, the Run command is used to directly open an application or document whose path is known. It functions more or less like a single-line command line interface.Starting with Windows 95, the Run command is accessible through the Start menu and also through the shortcut key. (Windows key + R). The input field in the dialog will show roughly 40-42 characters.Although the Run command is still present in Windows Vista and Windows 7, it no longer appears directly on the Start menu by default, in favor of the new search box and a shortcut to the Run command in the Accessories sub-menu.

I think many of us don’t know this feature of Run that is if you type url of any web page and press enter then it opens the webpage in our default web browser.

Many of us don’t use Run because they don’t know the commands.So i am writing down around 156 run commands here which may be very useful to you (Source of these commands is MyPCHell.com ).

To Access…                                                                           Run Command

Accessibility Controls                                        access.cpl

Accessibility Wizard                                          accwiz

Add Hardware Wizard                                      hdwwiz.cpl

Add/Remove Programs                                    appwiz.cpl
