This is very handy especially when you are multi-tasking and you need to find applications in your computer in a very easy way. Special credits to Bladerunner, a former ICafe colleague who shared these useful shortcuts by using the run command. All you have to do is click Start, then click run and type the corresponding command then hit Ok.
