    A co-worker and I were talking about Windows Shortcuts and he challenged me to figure out a way to select text that is in a dialog box that doesn't allow you to select the text. For instance, when I try to open a folder on the company network that I dont have access to, I can't select the text in the box that pops up. He says there is a trick to doing this, but I've looked all over the net and couldn't find anything. I figured only a MajorGeek could solve this one.

    Nevermind I figured it out...

    Apparently, It will copy the text in the active window and after you hit that you can go into Notepad and and ctrl-v to paste it.
