Need instant access to a command line without the fuss of clicking your way to the Start Menu's Run command?
Right-click on the taskbar and add the Address bar to it. At first glance, it appears you have a simple Web address entry for Internet Explorer. However, as Internet Explorer is highly integrated with Windows 2000, you can access pretty much anything with it. This means that you can type in a command or a file and it will execute or open it. Hence, the Address bar can be used quite effectively as a command line.
This tip works with Windows 2000 Professional and Server. The Address bar, obviously, accepts Web addresses and search queries as well.
