2. Start-> Run> (or Win+r) and type in .. (two dots) and click OK or press Enter and it will open
the Users directory! (C:\Users\ in Vista/Windows 7 and C:\Documents and Settings\ in Windows XP)

3. Start-> Run> (or Win+r) and type in ...(three dots) and click OK or press Enter and it will open the My Computer window
