You might have used few "Run" command to quick execute some windows activity in earlier versions of Windows. But are you aware of "Shell" commands available in Windows 7?

In Windows 7, If you unhide system folders. You may see the folders like SendTo, Themes, Start Menu, Recent etc. Inside C:\Users\[USERNAME]\ But all these folders are fake. And you see access denied error message on accessing them. So where exactly those folders are now? It was moved to
C:\Users\ [USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\
You can use "Shell" commands to access these folders quickly. These commands works well in Vista too.
