Hey guys,
since I arrived on the forums I've learned a lot , like shortcuts to enter in the start menu to search for applications. Now I would like to make a list of them for my own use, but I'm sure there are others out there who would find this to be handy as well.. So if you know a good one, post it here and as soon as we have a fair few, I'll try and make a word doc with all of them noted...

Here are some I know already:

msconfig: system configuration utility
regedit: edit the registry
snip: snipping tool
...

Hope y'all reply!:D

Axon,

add it to your Quicklaunch and use WinKey+ number (1-9) to access it quickly ;)

or just right click the shortcut and ad a shortcut key (eg CTRL-Shift-P)

anyone who uses search often may find this list useful
