I know under given commands are not very short and comprehensive like few others in windows but these are the commands that will actually shorten your length and save a few more seconds for accessing useful windows resources. I would like to use few of them very frequently to save my system from crashing like %Temp% to wipe out the temporary files from Temp folder.
