    95% of the time, mine is "regedit". The rest of the time, it's "cmd". OK, it's a stupid post Marc Help! I'm an AI running around in someone's f*cked up universe simulator.

My colleague and I are what he calls "command-line Windows users", going by some of what's in my current list: c:\windows c:\Program Files desktop (This is really useful when you have lots of stuff open!) calc cmd charmap devmgmt.msc compmgmt.msc regedit winword Win+R is really useful, you see. I prefer the Windows command line to the various Unix ones (I'm a heretic, obviously), as you can run just one command without needing to muck about with a terminal shell, and that's what you do 90% of the time. Now that's bound to cause some controversy! Windows having a better command-line than Unix?!? :-) -- Ian Darling

              Mine is "qr sca" I have a wee app (vb6/access) that lets you assign codes to applications and you launch them from the run prompt. Seeing as my hands are mostly at the keyboard this feels quicker and more natrual than fumbling with the mouse. "qr" is the name of the app and "sca" is the code of the application I am running. I got bored in work one day and set about a wee project to pass the afternoon away. I should really move it over to c# or something as a future project. Regedit seems to be very popular! :) Live to ride. Ride to live.

                  mspaint (I needed a screen shot). I don't use the 'run' command very much. Apps I use often are pinned to the Start menu. I've got the 'personalized' area set to zero entries, since I didn't like menu items appearing and disappearing unpredictably.

                                  Usually it's "cmd" as you said, then what follows: 1) net start 2) net stop 3) sc \\servername start r_server (for those familiar with Remote Administrator) 4) regedit 5) explorer 6) msconfig 7) lots of small batch scripts

                                      95% of the time, mine is "regedit". The rest of the time, it's "cmd". OK, it's a stupid post Marc Help! I'm an AI running around in someone's f*cked up universe simulator.

                                      Oh, I'm in Win-R all the time. cmd, winword, excel, calc, notepad, any Web address. I recently put the Address bar on the taskbar, but I'm not in the habit of using it yet.

                                        NET START MSSQL$VSdotNET Normally it would be regedit.
