Did you know?!

In Vista: Hit the Window key to open the Search Bar. Type cmd and then hit ctrl+shift+enter to run the command prompt as admin. This is useful if you want to launch apps from the command prompt as an admin.

In XP: Go to Run and then type eudcedit to open a small character editor.

EDIT: Oh, and in XP/Vista: Window key+M brings you to your desktop but still displays things like the windows sidebar, any desktop widgets you have, desktop calenders, etc. Windows key+D just shows your desktop and icons.

or, instead of dragging with left-button, drag with right-button and on release get a short popup menu "Copy Here, Move Here, Create ShortCut Here, Cancel"

mkdir (and then the name of the folder, of course)

It won't require sudo unless you're trying to make it inside of a folder with restricted permissions...

Hope this helps,
