Earlier, we have covered the most comprehensive list of shell locations by their Class ID which you can use to create a shortcut to the specific shell location for quick access. Today I am going to share the list of shell commands using their friendly name. Although these are implemented by the same ActiveX objects, you will notice that not every shell location with a CLSID has a user friendly alias. For example, 'Devices and Printers', the one with the shell:::{A8A91A66-3A7D-4424-8D24-04E180695C7A} CLSID has no friendly-name equivalent.
In the general case, a shell command looks like this:
shell:Friendly Folder Name
For example,
- shell:SendTo - the folder with items that you see in the "Send to" menu
- shell:Desktop - the Desktop folder, and so on.
Read the the full list below of such commands in Windows 8.
