Not to mention that sometimes you may not know what "Edit" will actually open. Notepad, reg editor, etc. Depends on the mapping.

I still see people getting on Windows servers and launching "Edit" to edit ini files or something else. For a lot of them that's the only test editor they know. However "Edit" instantly and completely dominates the machine: launch it and you'll see 100% available resources go to edit. I've see problems where somebody was making a "simple" change but then got a call that the site was down! So they worked hard to solve that problem which magically cleared up by itself... so they launch edit again to continue their work and the cycle begins anew. ;^) Nothing to do with the conversation, of course, but it does bring back memories.
