    i wanted to make a script run at login and every guide gave me a long path through AppData. Then someone said: press Win+R, type shell:startup, Enter. boom, the Startup folder for my user opened xD drop a shortcut there and it runs at login.

    turns out there are tons of these shell: names. shell:sendto opens the Send To folder, shell:AppsFolder shows all installed apps including Store apps, shell:downloads goes to Downloads. Why isnt this in any official tutorial?? thx in advance!!

    been there man the full list of names lives in teh registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderDescriptions.. :) each subkey has a Name value you can use after shell:. hope that helps :)

    yeahhh careful with shell:common startup: it affects every user on teh PC and needs admin rights to cahnge... use plain shell:startup for your own account.
