Nothing beats DOS commands. <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">

I'm not going to limit myself to 5. It depends on what I'm doing at the time.

Come to think of it, these are not all "DOS" commands really, just stuff I run from a prompt. I usually press "Window Key" + "R" to bring up the "Run" box, then type "CMD" (no quotes) in Win2K or NT 4.0, or "Command" in 9x to bring up a DOS box (if the last thing you ran was cmd you just hit enter as it's already in the run line). I even bring up "Calculator" this way by typing "calc", "notepad" to bring up notepad, etc.
