Just wanted to share a tip I find really useful. The idea being, I find myself going to the 12 hive quite often via command prompt. Do this - 1. Set an environment variable called "12" on your system. 2. On command prompt, type cd %12% Thats it :)

Create a junction point in the filesystem (sysinternals junction.exe) and point c:\wss to the 12 hive.

Just create a file called 12.cmd and put it in your C:\Windows directory
in the file put:
c:
cd c:\program files\...12...
then from anywhere, just type 12 and voila!

I have two ways to do this on my dev machine - I have the 12 Folder on my Taskbar, bottom right, and can access any of the folders from there should I need to "explore" them and I have a batch file in my quick launch that opens 12\bin.
