How to Save a lot of Clicking With the Windows Key+R Shortcut

Step 1

Hold down the Windows Key and Press R on your keyboard.

Step 2

The run dialog box will open—type in the program’s name you want to run and press CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER. Note: In my example, I’m launching CMD (Windows Command Prompt) as Administrator.

Now your program is open, and it only took, well, zero mouse clicks! You did all of it with just the keyboard. To top it all off, every program you open up through this run dialog process will automatically be in Administrator power mode.

Any questions, let us know in the comments. The steps above will work using Windows 7 and later. Win7 64bit. +D = Minimize everything +E = Open Windows Explorer / My Computer +L = Lock PC Do any of these work? Don’t fret amigo! The WIN+R key will open the run box. He will then ask you to type something and tell him what the screen says. He will tell you something on the screen is actually a virus and then offer to transfer you to someone who can help you. They will then charge you for the tech support and fix something not broken on your computer. In the end, they will install a Virus on your computer and charge you to fix something not broken. It’s a very sad SCAM but unfortunately, many people fall for it. The scammers are very awful people preying on the unsuspecting. Really, education is the only way to combat them since it’s difficult to block or report the illegal behavior. Comment Name * Email *
