65. Want to get there Fast #2

In the last tip, we went through how to open an application from the Run dialog box: Select Start, Run, type the name of the application you want to open (or its path, if Windows doesn't recognize the name), and press Enter. You can use this technique to open any folder window. For example, to open the Windows folder, select Start, Run (or press Ctrl-Esc, R), type

windows

and press Enter. As with programs, if Windows 95 doesn't recognize the folder name--typically folders that aren't in the Windows folder or on the root of your hard drive--you'll need to type its full path, for instance

X:\WINDOWS

where X is the drive letter.
