Lightbulb Windows run commands .. any secrets?

Just when I wondered why they still inculed the Run command on the Start menu I noticed a guy at work typing in "serivces.msc" as a quick way to get to the serivce menu. [Hey, I didn't know that..]

It got me wondering what other Run comands exist that might be handy?

I know "C:" gets you to the C: drive quick and "iexplore www.pcmech.com" works nice. Any others?

AND IS THERE IS RUN COMMAND OR SHORTCUT TO GET TO THE DEVICE MANAGER?
