I hate having to type my email address, so I created a long one-liner to do the trick of getting my email from Exchange and copying it in my clipboard
powershell -noprofile -command "$o=New-Object DirectoryServices.DirectorySearcher; $o.SearchRoot=New-Object DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry;$o.Filter='samaccountname='+$ENV:USERNAME;write-host ($o.FindOne().Properties.mail)" | clip
save this as “C:\WINDOWS\E.BAT”
Then, when you have to enter your email in a form or document or login screen,
[⊞+R] [e] [enter] [CTRL+V]
4 keystrokes (+ 2 mod)
Explanation :
C:\>powershell -noprofile
Windows PowerShell
