How to find Windows XP system folders

It can be difficult to navigate through files to find specific system folders. For example, the one where your cookies are stored, or the one that holds the items in the "Send To" menu. Instead of trying to slog through directory, you can use the command line and find them quickly (if you know the names) with the run command. Here's how:

• Click Start | Run
• In the Run box, type shell:<folder name>

Here are some of the commonly used shell folders:

shell:Cookies - display the cookies folder
shell:Cache - displays temporary Internet files
shell:Favorites - displays the IE Favorites folder
shell:SendTo - displays the Send To folder
shell:MyMusic - displays the My Music folder
shell:MyPictures - displays the My Pictures folder
