Today I was browsing the Internet for some Windows Vista Stuff
as I recently installed Windows Vista on my Laptop and i found this awesome list of Windows Vista Shell Shortcuts by EdHolloway.

In Windows Vista you can navigate to many of the system folders, such as the "Send To" folder by typing shell: (eg shell:sendto) in the Start/Search(aka Run) text box (See screen shot). The Tip is very useful in the sense that it beats the customary way of typing C:Users[UserID]AppDataRoamingMicrosoftWindowsSendTo to do the same thing.
This tip works for many of the folders and other system screens / apps, the complete list is below.

Cool! so you bought vista?
Yup
Got the Windows Vista DVD from the market and I am currently using the RC 1 (Release Candidate 1) Key that I got earlier
Good to see you using Vista man , did you face any compatibility issuses with softwares , antivirus etc ?
@ Madhur Kapoor - Man
now that
was the question i was dying to answer indeed
I must say Vista has Huge Compatibality Issues with old softwares and applications
But thank God the good think is the compatibility manager already tells you if the software you are going to install is compatible with Vista or not
for me Partition Magic 8.0 and Visual C++ 6.0 had the odd ends in Vista
for Anti Virus you can get CA E-Trust Vista Anti Virus for 1 year free (Refer to my Archive) or get AVG 7.5 Anti Virus
Its Vista Compatible
