Windows XP Start Command

I know that in other Windows operating systems, you can use a statement like c:\windows\command\start.exe to execute programs. Is there anything like this in Windows XP? There is no command folder in XP.

 

start>run>type cmd
is that what you want?

 

You can use the Start>Run option on xp for things like the media player

Heres a reasonably concise list
