I'm pretty sure this is only about 3/4 of the most common commands...
because the list is only my personal list of those I know about.)

Please note this list was inspired today by sharing in these recent threads:

I want to add special folders into the list.

For example, the Network Connections:

Start Run ::{7007ACC7-3202-11D1-AAD2-00805FC1270E}

Control Panel's Personalization: (long text warning)

Start Run ::{26EE0668-A00A-44D7-9371-BEB064C98683}\0\::{ED834ED6-4B5A-4BFE-8F11-A626DCB6A921}

Because there are many special folders in Windows, and not all of them exist
on all Windows versions, and they also can be added by third party
softwares, I've made a VBScript to find those which are available in the
current system.

To use it, run it using CSCRIPT from the command from like below.

cscript ListSpecialFolders.vbs

Since the list is pretty long (78 items in my Windows 7 system), the list
can be saved into a file by running it like below.

cscript ListSpecialFolders.vbs SpecialFolders.txt

Here's the list for my Windows 7 system. Windows 8+ would have a view more.

There are some interresting/handy ones which are hard to find, or simply not
made accessible by default Windows installation. For example, a special
folder that holds the real complete list of all Control Panel items. More
than the one listed by the "All Control Panel Items". And a special folder
that holds the recently used folders (not files).
