66. Want to get there Fast #3

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. Now your about to go beyond your local system to the Web.

Want to jump directly to a Web site? Similar to the Address line of your browser window, the Run command line can take you there. Select Start, Run (or press Ctrl-Esc, R), type the URL of the site you want to access, then press Enter. Presto--your Web browser springs to life (if it isn't already open) and takes you directly to that site.
