Shortcuts to folders in Windows Vista

1 Comment By Bishwajeet

You can directly go to the folders by using Shell Commands in Windows Vista.The shell: command can be used to open a special folder directly from the Start, Search menu or from the Run dialog.If you want to go to the my pictures folder just type shell:my Pictures in the run dailog or in the search menu. They are quite useful as using these you can directly open the folders which generally will take time to open if you go by the normal process.
