Powerful Windows Shell Commands
« on: May 03, 2016, 05:15:54 AM »
This one might be useful for people wanting to navigate their operating system using voice commands.

Shell commands can open all kinds of specialised system folders.

To use them in VA, you simple execute the "Run Application" action and place the shell command on the application command line:

shell:ControlPanelFolder

would for example open up the control panel

I use Windows 7 and for that there is a big long list of shell commands here:

Most of these will likely continue to work for Windows 8 and 10.
