Logfiles shortcut

Have you ever been troubleshooting IIS and need to check out the access log files? As you know by default they live at in System32\Logfiles under your Windows directory. There are plenty of ways to get there...type the path in the run dialog. Open explorer and browse there. But during a call with MS PSS the other day, I learned a handy shortcut. In the run dialog, type 'logfiles' and you will instantly open the System32\Logfiles folder. There are more logfiles here besides IIS generated ones...but that seems to be the best known.

Happy hunting, and hope this saved you some time!
