Common shell command parsing in Windows 7

Windows 7 is relatively large compared to Vista, and it has stability, compatibility, and humanization. The shell command line in Windows 7 is another important update that many users have not found.

Users can use the "Shell:" command to call all the projects that can be opened with the resource manager, and the tasks that require many steps to complete, and the syntax is very simple. But many users do not know what shell commands are, and the operations that can be implemented, then we will fully analyze the common shell commands under Win7 to help users understand the new commands under the new system.
