I'm always amazed at the wide spread use of mspaint. Since Win 98 I have used better alternatives e.g. irfanview but to each their own.


The good thing about mspaint is I can close my eyes, press the windows key, type mspaint return and I can be reasonably sure it will open without installing anything.

Edit spelling


Win-R mspaint, notepad, and cmd are burned into my brain for getting stuff done. Everything else gets in the way.


Win+R is kind of sacred for me. It remembers the last command so I prefer to keep simple things out of it.

It is easy to press windows and type mstsc and then press enter. This way I don't have to press up and down to get to that long command should I need it in the run command.
