This maybe old to some of you but I thought this was pretty neat.

For those of you who use the MS-DOS prompt a fair bit, basically this gives you a right-click option on any folder in explorer enabling you to open up a Command Prompt window with the selected folder open.

Anyone else know of any more useful tips like this one?

I already have that, I think I got it from maybe power toys or some other tweaky program I installed then forgot about.
these are pretty basic but if that cmd thing amuses you then these might too
You can press the windows key + ..
d & get your desktop
f & get a find files dialog
e & get windows explorer
r & get the run box
m & it'll minimize most/all open windows, almost the same as win + d but not quite.

and to post on qgl you can hit alt+s in IE & firefox, doesn't work in opera though :(

alt-tab pwns this thread.

Win Key + Pause/Break is the strangest one I came across, so very handy to know too.

I wonder how many peeps here first came across regedit when they had to switch CD keys on their HL install after getting banned from 20 CS servers after spending a few hours testing out the latest OGC hook???

I know i did.

i was being intimate with regedit today while trying to get rid of the virus that keeps on f***ing my system over.

first became intimate with regedit to edit a cd key yes.. (not cause i was banned, just because when you warez a friends legit copy you do the right thing and change the cd key to a generated one.

I think I first became acquainted with regedit when I either broke my pc or when I was just bored messing around....come to think of it, regedit is probably how I broke my pc :)

fun trick to do back with windows 98, I stuck the shutdown command in the run key of my brothers' computer. rundll.exe user.exe,exitwindows or something. Makes windows shutdown correctly so no harm is done but damn it's funny watching a computer boot up only to shutdown again. Then he switched to 2k that bastard. (2k doesn't come with shutdown.exe does it? only xp I think?)

whoa yzaerg, where did that come from?
