I see no exe extension, and no special shell

I can rename or copy a command e.g. who to who.exe and run it but surely that's not how i'm meant to run it.
How am I meant to run these?
C:\Windows\SUA\bin\whoami
? A file does not need to be named.exe
to be executable.'c:\windows\sua\bin\whoami' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
(out of interest, what, if any, setting do you have that can make extensionless files run as executable?).\command
. i'm largely a windows guy but I know many *nix commands. I already took into account re the path. I just tried adding it to the path, no difference.
