La Shell di Windows Vista include dei comandi che ci consentono di aprire oggetti e spostarci in cartelle velocemente. Per poter utilizzare i seguenti comandi è sufficiente digitarli nella barra di ricerca del Menu’ di Avvio oppure in una finestra di Prompt dei Comandi (alcune volte è necessario aprirlo con diritti amministrativi). Inoltre possiamo creare un collegamento a tale comando in caso di un utilizzo frequente.
