Drag and drop file names to the Command Prompt

[microsoftne]

Did you know that you can drag and drop file names to the "Command Prompt" or "DOS Prompt?" For example, if you have a long file name to type, simply drag and drop that file from the File Manager or Explorer to the Command Prompt and Windows will do the typing for you.
