Why is Windows Run: different from the CMD line?
When I type ' http://www.google.com at the Windows Run prompt: launches my default browser.
But when I do it at the CMD or Commnad prompt it is not. I'm guessing there is some form of RunDLL command, but I can't seem to figure out what.
Does anyone have discernment?

What John said seems to be correct. I tested it using mailto: someone@somewhere.com. Interestingly, if you want to make it work like the default CMD behavior, you can do the following:
Start → Run → cmd / c http://www.google.com . Not sure why anyone would ever need to do this!
