Here are three undocumented ways to use the Start> Run> menu.
To bypass Windows Explorer.
Instead of opening Windows Explorer or My Computer every time you need to open a file, click on Start, then Run. Type the location of the file you want to open (for example, c:\seminars\seo.ppt). If you wish to view a directory of files, type the directory name (for example, c:\seminars\).
To quickly send an email
Click on Start, then Run.
Type mailto:, followed by the email address of your recipient (for example, mailto:training@probiztechnology.com).
Hit Enter.
This quickly launches your default email program, and creates an email message.
Please note: You must have an email client set-up on your system in order for this tip to work.
To quickly visit a website.
Click Start, then Run.
Type the web address in the dialog box (for example, www.probiztechnology.com).
Please note: (a) You must type the "www" before the web address, and (b) your computer must be online in order for this trick to work.
