I know, that I can write "firefox.exe" in registry command, but when I write my application like "myapp.exe" it doesn't work. If I use full path "C:...\myapp.exe" it works, but application can be installed anywhere else, so how to write short command?
Also, in run utilite when I write myapp.exe it can't find it
When you tell windows to run a program and you don't specify the full path, it looks at the PATH variable, which contains just a string of directories separated by ";" and sees if it finds the program there. There is a more detailed explanation of it on https://superuser.com/questions/284342/what-are-path-and-other-environment-variables-and-how-can-i-set-or-use-them.

I don't want the window title name of the command line to change. When i make shortcut or open it in different location, window title name of cmd is changing. How can i stop it?
Thanks.
In short: you can't. CMD.EXE internally calls SetConsoleTitle (or some equivalent), and there isn't an option to stop it from doing so.
What you can do is manually reset the title after each command (for example when you run a batch file with multiple commands inside and want to end up with some specific title). Use the title command to do so from within a batch file or from the command prompt interactively.
(There are also more involved options, but they all have quirks.)
I think some console alteratives (like Windows Terminal or ConEmu) let specify that the title should not change, but I'm not sure, you'll have to try.
Maybe clarify your question with what you are really trying to achieve, or why the changing title is an issue for you.

I'm on Windows 10, the cmd does not recognize any commands.
It return always:
"the name of the commande" is not recognized as an internal or external command, an executable program, or a batch file
after Google search, I found that I should modifiy the Path in Environment Variables to add this line bellow, but it does not resolve the problem:
%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\
Someone please can tell me how can I resolve this problem?
Thank you
ls is NOT a standard Windows command! DIR is the Windows equivalent to ls.
To see a list of Windows supported command, enter help. The example output:
>help
For more information on a specific command, type HELP command-name.
ASSOC Displays or modifies file extension associations.

I want to get a list of all the file extensions that a windows machine will recognize as an executable.
I tried the following in command prompt:
echo %PATHEXT%
But all I got from that is:
.COM;.EXE;.BAT;.VBS;.VBE;.JS;.WSF;.WSH;.MSC
Which is not a complete list. It's missing things like:
.SCR;.REG;.VB;.VBSCRIPT
and so on.
If the extension is not in %PATHEXT%, then there is no association. If you just type the.vbs at the command line, you will be informed of same.
If you type cscript the.vbs, then the script will run; assuming cscript.exe is somewhere in the PATH variable.
In short, files such as .SCR;.REG;.VB;.VBSCRIPT are not actually executable. It is the association that is used to know which executable can run them.

I need a batch file which will copy the C: drive of the user and copy it on the start up folder, thanks in advance.
move C:\ . C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
I think this will work, this might ask for admin permission, or it might just deny it

some program (sort of malware) is running on my windows 7 at startup, but my startup folder is empty (even after removing the hidden and system attrib of all the programs in the folder). But msconfig shows the script that was running.
This means that programs can run on startup without actually being in the startup folder.
Please help me by explaining, how these softwares do this, or any concept of startup that i am missing?
Thanks in advance.
From here:
Add a new startup application
Open your registry and find the key [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run].
For each program you want to start automatically create a new string value using a descriptive name, and set the value of the string to the program executable.
For example, to automatically start Notepad, add a new entry of "Notepad"="c:\windows\notepad.exe".
Goto MSCONFIG and Remove the check mark for that particular App. then you are good go
