At times of exigency, we often find ourselves helpless, and are forced to be on our own. Well when it comes to computing in windows platform, i can say not having the right software at the right time is the same as being on one's own. That's why we are often prompted to use/exploit the Run commands available in windows. As an example we often want our system to shutdown after a specific time period, mostly when we play music or download files via internet. Well some software ( IDM, Media player Classic ) endues the facility of shutdown timer, many do not. The trick is a simple command can enable us make our system shutdown, logoff, restart or hibernate (if enabled) after a fixed time specified by us. First go to Start>Run. Then simply type Shutdown.exe -s -t 600. Here 600 is the time period in seconds, and -s stands for shutdown. The parameter -s can be replaced by -l to log off, by -r to restart or by -h to hibernate. Some important Run commands are enumerated below.
dxdiag - Opens DirectX Diagnostic Tool 
msconfig - Opens System configuration Utility
regedit - Opens Registry Editor
gpedit.msc - Opens Group Policy Editor
msmsgs - MSN Messenger
winchat - Microsoft Chat

Taking Pro Cert. Exams might sound a little too 'savvy, but if u're planning to take CCNA exam 640-802 and pass it, this could be even easier than pulling off a single semester final exam successfully. I took the Cisco academy course on CCNA almost a couple of years back, and in January this year when I planned to take the Cert. exam seriously, it almost gave me a little shiver. Nonetheless the reason why i chose to sit for the exam was that earlier I had activated my voucher (discount) for CCNA exam. I didn't want to be under the constant mental pressure of not utilizing the voucher and loosing it somehow. But as most cert. exams do, CCNA also have reliable dumps ( Selected Q&A's that guarantee pass) such as Pass4sure and Testinside, I found out that that I all I had to do was to cram the contents of dumps for about a week. Additionally the basic concepts of IP, VLAN, ACL, NAT needed a thorough review, 'cause otherwise i had had to literally memorize all the Q&A's, which is rather a matter of indignity for a gonna be CCNA. Practically It took me almost a couple of weeks to go through most of the prep materials before I sat for the exam. I was a little frightened before the exam as I had felt a little under prepared to sit for an exam of such standard. My xam fright proved to be real to some extent as the exam eventually took me an hour and a half of struggle to finish. I guess one more week of study could have paved the way for me to take the xam smoothly and confidently. Anyway with a score of 916 out of 1000, I was satisfied. To any potential CCNA candidate my suggestion is, start the prep one month before u plan to take the xam, and relaX! it won't need u to be a super assiduous geek to be a CCNA. Try out the following links. They might come in handy. U might try googling info about this xam as well.
