The Windows Run box is a very useful utility to launch programs and applications quickly. There are more than a hundred run commands that let you launch all sorts of built in Windows applications such as Control Panel modules, and system tools like Disk Defragmenter, Device Manager, Group Policy Editor etc. Most of these commands are well documented - you will find plenty of run command lists on the web, published and republished countless number of times. But I'm pretty sure you will never find the following commands in any of these lists. *Trick 1: Open your home directory* The home directory is located at C:\Documents and Settings\Username in Windows XP and C:\Users\Username in Windows Vista and 7. The quickest way to open this directory is to open the Run box (Win+R) and type "." - a single dot. Then hit enter. Try it.

To open this directory, type 2 dots in the Run box and hit enter.

To open this drive through the Run box type "\" - the backslash.
