64. Want to get there Fast #1
Hey, MS-DOS lovers, do you wish you could replace all that double-clicking with some good old-fashioned typing? Remember the Run command line. Whether it's a program, folder, or Web page you're after, you can type your way there.
Need to open an application? For some, a desktop icon or Start menu item is the fastest way to launch. But if your application isn't handy, try this: Select Start, Run (or press Ctrl-Esc, R), and the Run dialog box appears. Type the name of the program you want to open, such as
Notepad
press Enter, and up pops the program window.
(Note: If Windows 95 doesn't recognize the program you want to open, you'll need to type the full path of that program's executable file. But that isn't as bad as it sounds. Once you've typed an application's
path, you can select it from the Run dialog box's pop-up list. Tip-in-a-tip: Use the up or down cursor arrows to scroll through this list.)
