Default Is there a way to load "run" from "Windows Explorer"

Hmmm. Just tried this to a Linux xterm and a "Terminal"
(yes, it is called "Terminal"). Terminal worked but
xterm did not. I typically use xterms over Terminal
as I have lots more options. In Linux, you have the
secondary clipboard, so I do an "ls" ("dir" in Windows),
highlight, and center button mouse paste. I use this
like crazy. I do wish Windows and OSx had this, but
each has its strengths and weaknesses.

Windows will allow me to "mark" and paste, which is an
awkward substitute, but it works.


I always enable the Quick Edit mode in CMD's default options. Copy and paste
are much easier that way. Copy by dragging the mouse across the desired text
and hit Enter. Paste by right-clicking the mouse.
