Until now I haven't used more than one or two userwritten commands, but it seems like
SSC is a place where one can find a nice like program/command for nearly everything.
I definitely have too check it out more regularly!

Assuming you just want to start an interactive session and you don't work
from a command line and open a Stata Window, then it is inconvenient to type
use C:"very long path"/mydata
In this case just double clicking the mydata.dta is a lot more convenient!
You could ease this process by installing and using -fastcd- so that
you have a set of what are essentially macros for the "very long path"
that you can call to change directory.
Once in that "working" directory you will likely have sub-directories
for 'data', 'scripts' and so forth and its then a case of...
use "data/mydata", clear
Check out -fastcd- from ssc and install with....
ssc desc fastcd
ssc install fastcd
Its a great little utility from Nick Winter.
