Geeky way to open certain locations from Keyboard

Geeky way to open certain locations from Keyboard in Windows 7

2. Hit enter (or click ok).

Now, the second one...

1. Press [windows key] and [R] in keyboard. type ".." (double dots without quotation marks)

Good information! I did not know this and I do use the Run command. Thanks. :)

I put that shortcut into my Rocket dock - that is also easy.

Thanks Carl.

@Crunchy: I see. That means it should work Win 95 onwards, if I am not wrong. Thanks for the addition
