94 Secret Windows Shortcuts You Can Use

Everyone can use these well hidden Windows shortcuts

In the wake of the recent flurry about God mode shortcuts, Ed Bott brings 94 more shortcuts for everyone, not only techie types. The God (GUID) mode shortcuts that made the rounds were useful for more technical types, not so much for the rest of us.
Ed Bott says “…there’s another, much larger class of well-hidden Windows shortcuts that are useful to everyone, not just techies. The shortcuts I’m referring to involve the shell command, which is curiously undocumented in the Windows 7 Help files or on Microsoft’s web site.”
I have to agree with Ed, after looking over some of the shortcuts I’m surprised they aren’t well known because they certainly are useful.
Go have a look, you’ll come away with some new information and hopefully, new shortcuts to use.

Many of the shell commands in this article work with Windows XP. Just try exploring with them.

Press "Windows Key"+R, type shell:Common Administrative Tools into the box and click OK. This will get you a list of common administrative tools.

It's just an example. There's a long list of Shell Commands to access the Special Folders in Windows 7, Vista, and XP here.
