Entering Long Paths in a DOS Window

If you have to enter a long path and program name in a DOS window,
  1. Open up the Explorer
  2. Go to the folder you want
  3. Drag it to the DOS window
  4. The path will be inserted into the window

This can come is useful with the long path names and all the ~'s you would normally need to type.
If you need to change directories, type in the CD before you drag the directory.
