in answer to the first question you would go to run, and type 'E:' (without the quotes)
and if u wanted a specific file e.g. 'letter.doc' you would type 'E:\letter.doc' again without the quotes.
hope that helped!

i think people are getting mixed up between the windows "run" feature and the "command prompt"
The "run" feature lets you run or preform actions quickley with a text command. This is a windows small scale command prompt like feature.
If you want to actually use the proper command line interface, you type Command or "cmd" in to the run box.
This command prompt lets you preform nearly any diffrent task you want to to. It is the command line or text interface to controle windows rather than the GUI that you are probably more familier with. There are also quite a few extra features and options that are available to you through the command line that are not in the windows GUI.
The things you can do and the commands entered to do so are endless and so your best looking up about this.

The run cammand and the command prompt window are kinda the same. you can run any command in the run command as you can at the command prompt.
The one thing is if you run a Dos command in the run command box it will open a dos window and then close it when done, unlike the command prompt window will stay open so you can see the outcome of what ever you ran and also run other commands without reopening it.
some command that you can run are
appwiz.cpl = opens add remove program window
ncpa.cpl = open network connections window
there are tons of other commands ( to many to list) that can be found on the net
