112. Navigation with the Address Bar
After you open a folder in Windows Vista, you will see the address bar at the top of the Explorer. Each folder is part of the hierarchical structure of your system. The top level is your computer, desktop, and so on. Under the top level is the user level, and user folders are under that level. The address bar shows this structure from left to right; with each level, you can use a flyout arrow to display and browse to the folder available on that level.
113. Command Prompt
You can run your programs via the command prompt as follows:
1. Click Start.
2. Type command in the Quick Search box.
3. Click Command prompt.
Alternately, you can simply type the program name in the Quick Search box, and use any parameters that may be required.

Here’s how to access Windows Mail:
