Hi Don Kuenz,

THANK YOU for sharing value on the Windows Usenet Potluck with sufficient
amount of detail for those of us who love to learn about Windows to run.
o https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/microsoft.public.windowsxp.general/cc1lGn3ty0E

Entering your suggested command in a user-level "Win+R cmd Enter"
window on Win10 [Version 10.0.17763.615], I get nothing, but in an elevated
command prompt using "Win+R cmd Ctrl+Shift+Enter", I get this:
Mandatory Label\High Mandatory Level Label S-1-16-12288
Elevated

On WinXP, if course, the "whoami" fails, where I didn't boot to Win7 to
test as my Win7 machine is flaky lately (it generally boots to Ubuntu).

When WinKey+R cmd Ctrl+Shift+Enter is used to invoke cmd.exe under
W16S neither the UAC OK dialog appears nor does the above command detect
elevation.

That's interesting since this is key to understanding Windows' details.

What this world needs is a shortcut that displays IE11's Compatibility
View to alter:

HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Internet Explorer/BrowserEmulation/ClearableListData
UserFilter

The closest I can get to that registry entry is
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\BrowserEmulation

Twenty six of the shortcuts most often used by me on W10P and W16S
devices that belong to a domain are shown below. The first thirteen
commands were printed and placed on the front side of a 4 1/4" x 2 3/4"
index card. The last thirteen commands were then printed and placed on
the rear side. Finally, a clear plastic veneer was stuck to the front
and rear sides of the whole kit and caboodle in order to keep everything
together. The cheat sheet fits nicely into the folds of my wallet.

I love that approach, which reminds me of what I did when learning how to
use the Start Run commands on Win95 and WinXP, where my first on WinXP was:
Start Run my documents

Since we're all Windows aficionados, and since a new group was added, I
point the newly added team to the alternate suggestion of saving complex
data into a csv (or whatever) file and then instantly accessing that data
file by typing a simple command such as "Start Run run" which brings up
the file, instantly, in whatever editor is defined for csv files.
o Does an even more EFFICIENT method exist to access complex scattered files on all versions of Windows than this method?

Thank you for adding this nicely organized pocket card value to share on
the Windows Usenet potluck, where I also helpfully note for the newly added
group the advice JJ brought to the Windows potluck, much of which works on
both Windows 10 and Windows XP (my Win7 test machine is currently Ubuntu):
