# 26. Windows + R: Open the Run Dialog Box
Navigating through folders or searching for system tools can feel slow when you know exactly what you need to launch.
Press **Windows + R** to open the small but powerful Run box. Type commands like `cmd`, `msconfig`, `regedit`, `services.msc`, or even website URLs, then hit Enter. Power users rely on this shortcut daily to access hidden tools and programs faster than through the Start menu.
