Shell commands are little  tricks or commands to copy and past into the “Search menu” (reachable by pressing Start on your desktop) to open folders with a simple, single step. “For example, the command shell:sendto opens the SendTo folder (%userprofile%\sendto) of your user profile. To launch the Documents folder of your user profile, you’d type shell:Personal.” Here is a complete list of shell commands for Windows Vista.
