Launch programs with Run
Click the Start button and choose the Run command. Any application or applet in the computer's path statement will be launched by typing its name. You can browse or view network drives in the same way using the syntax \\computer name or \\computer name\share. You can always use any command-line statement, regardless of whether the application is listed on the path, by typing in the entire path. You can even instantly open any folder on your machine (even those with long file names) by typing START followed by the folder path, as in: START "C:\PROGRAM FILES\MICROSOFT EXCHANGE". (Long file names must be typed inside "quotes".)

This method will work for just about any object within Windows 95, including files and folders, Windows or DOS applications, and even URL's.
