At least it happens on my daily work. I feel press Windows + R keys combination and then typing a command make my job be more responsive.

And here are commands those I use them almost everyday:

  1. %TEMP%. This command will open your temporary files folder. I open it everyday to make my computer clean from trash files. Instead of open this folder by open C:\Documents and Settings\<user_name>\Local Settings\Temp manually, use this way.
  2. %WINDIR%, this command will open your Windows folder.
  3. %PROGRAMFILES%, this command will open your Program Files folder where almost your entire application installed.
  4. %USERPROFILE%, this command will open your profile folder.
  5. winword, open Microsoft Word.
  6. excel, open Microsoft Excel.
  7. notepad, to open notepad. I use it everyday to make a temporary note such us my friend’s phone number.
  8. calc, to open calculator (Windows built-in application). I calculate something every day :D
  9. firefox, to open my best internet browser is Firefox.
  10. regedit, to open Registry Editor. I like to browse my registry structure and its values and to otak atik (read: learn) them.

What’s your favourite command?
