Run New Task
Run New Task
Open a program, folder, document, or Internet resource directly from CyberManager.
Opening the dialog
Click the plus button beside the process actions in Full or Compact mode, or press Ctrl+N. Enter the target in Open and press Enter. Esc cancels the dialog.
Examples
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
explorer.exe |
Open Windows Explorer through the Windows executable search |
notepad.exe |
Open Notepad |
"C:\Program Files\Example\Example.exe" --help |
Launch an executable with arguments |
%USERPROFILE%\Documents |
Open the Documents folder |
https://cybergems.org |
Open the website with its registered handler |
Arguments and environment variables are supported. Quote paths that contain spaces. Simple executable names work when Windows can locate them in its executable search locations or registered App Paths.
Browse opens the system Program Files folder by default. It accepts programs, shortcuts, and other files; choosing a shortcut preserves its configured target and arguments.
Administrator privileges
Enable Run with administrative privileges when needed. Windows handles any authorization prompt. The checkbox starts unchecked whenever you open a new dialog and is not stored with history entries. Processes still inherit the application's current privileges unless Windows handles them differently.
If Windows rejects the request or you cancel authorization, the dialog stays open and explains what happened. The command is not added to history.
Recent tasks
- The latest 20 successful open requests are saved between sessions, newest first.
- Select an entry to fill the command field, then press Enter or choose Run.
- From the command field, press Down to enter the recent-task list and use the arrow keys to select an entry.
- Remove one entry with its X button, or use Clear history to remove every entry.
- History records the original command, including its arguments and environment variables, so review an entry before running it again.
An accepted request may open a resource in an existing application instead of creating a new process. History records the accepted open request; it does not track the lifetime or exit status of the application.
