feat!: Merge tutorials into blog
A good amount of tutorial pages are more akin to blog posts than tutorials. And even for the ones that are very much a "quick how-to", I feel many blogs would include them as blog posts.

-On Windows, most often you run an application by finding and double-clicking it's `[.exe]` file. What a lot of people don't realise is that you can launch any application or open any file you want by typing a single command. That can be achieved inside the =[Run dialog]=.
-
-## Opening the Run dialog
-
-To open the Run dialog, you can either:
-
-*[A)]* Press `[Win + R]` key combination
-
-or
-
-*[B)]* Right click on the Windows menu, and then press `[Run]`
-

-
-## Commands
-
-[image ./img/run-dialog.png]
-
-### Folders
-
-You can open any folder by typing in it's =[full path]=. So, if you have a folder named `[Work]` inside your `[Documents]` folder, the full path will be something like `[C:\Users\John\Documents\Work\\]`.
-
-If your desired folder is directly in your account folder, so `[Desktop]`, `[Documents]`, `[Pictures]`, etc. you can just type in the name of the folder. For example, if you want to open your `[Pictures]` folder, just type in `[pictures]` and it will be opened.
-
-There are, of course, some more special location, some of which are:
-
-.table
-|=Command=||=Location=|
-|:`[%ProgramFiles%]`:||:Program Files Folder:|
-|:`[%AppData%]`:||:User's App Data Folder:|
-
-=[Bonus]=: `[%appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu]` will open the Start Menu folder, from which you can edit what goes inside your start menu.
-
-### Programs
-
-You can always run any application by typing in it's full path. So, to launch something like FireFox, you'll need to type in `[C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe]`.
-
-But, whats more important is that you can more easily launch some Windows apps, like Calculator or Control Panel. Here is a list of commands and the application they launch:
-
-.table
-|=Command=||=Application=|
-|:`[calc]`:||:Calculator:|
-|:`[mspaint]`:||:Microsoft Paint:|
-|:`[snippingtool]`:||:Snipping Tool:|
-|:`[notepad]`:||:Notepad:|
-|:`[sndvol]`:||:Volume Mixer:|

-|:`[shutdown]`\*:||:Shutdown or restart computer:|
-|::||::|
-|:`[cmd]`:||:Command Prompt:|
-|:`[powershell]`:||:Windows PowerShell:|
-|:`[control]`:||:Control Panel:|

-|:`[msconfig]`:||:System Configuration Settings:|

-|:`[sigverif]`:||:File Signature Verification Tool:|
-
-\*: The `[shutdown]` command [url https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/administration/windows-commands/shutdown requires parameters]:
-
-.bulleted
-- `[/s]` will shutdown in one minute
-- `[/r]` will restart in one minute
-- `[/t]` specifies after what amount of time to shutdown or restart (a number needs to be entered afterwards, so `[/t 0]` for immediate execution)
-- `[/f]` forces running applications to close (might result in data loss!)
-
-### Windows settings
-
-There are also many "shortcuts" to different Windows settings windows. Those include:
-
-.table
-|=Command=||=Setting=|
-|:`[mmsys.cpl]`:||:Sound Properties:|
-|:`[powercfg.cpl]`:||:Power Options:|
