Windows XP and Explorer - Easily Open Documents and Settings Folder

Your Windows XP "Documents and Settings" folder contains all types of useful information about your account, including:

* Desktop icons
* Internet Explorer cookies
* Internet Explorer favorites
* Miscellaneous application data
* "My Documents" folder
* Start Menu settings

Normally, to get to this folder, you must run Explorer and access a folder name similar to "c:\documents and settings\YOUR USER NAME". That's a lot of typing or browsing. Here's an easier way:

1. Click "Start", selecting "Run".

2. When the "Run" dialog box appears, enter a period (.) and press the "OK" button or ENTER on your keyboard.

3. That's it!
