Shell commands

There are many Shell commands in Windows 10. These commands can open specific folders even some that are
normally hidden. To access the target object of the shell commands you must type the command into the Run command
box. Key Win + r, and type in a command; say, ‘Shell:CommonMusic’, then click OK. This command opens the Public mu-
sic folder. Using these commands will depend on how you use your computer but they are very handy and you should
take a little time to scroll through them and find the ones that are most suited to you.
