The sub-keys of the
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderDescriptions registry key are CLSIDs (?) each of which represents a
special folder. All (most?) of these sub keys have a value named
name. This value can be used to open the special folder in
cmd.exe with the
start command by prepending the name with
shell:. If the name contains spaces, the
shell:name construct needs to be enclosed in quotes. Because quotes have a special meaning for the
start command, another pair of quotes needs to be prepended.
