Is there a list of Windows special directories/shortcuts (like %TEMP%)?












143















I'm looking for a reference list of shortcuts like %TEMP%.



When I'm using Windows+R or Windows Explorer and type %temp%, the Windows Explorer takes me to the Temp directory. Are there more of these shortcuts?



UPDATE:
I found a helpful reference page for environment variables (might not be up-to-date with Windows 7).

    The question is quite straight forward, I need a list of environment variables (which is a fixed list) and is answered by Dennis Williamson.

    Could this question be answered by someone, please? The answers below are mildly interested, but are not a list of OS-defined aliases (e.g., %appdata%, %localappdata%). We have one response which lists binaries in windows, one response that points to the environment variable setting (which is not a type of alias, although an environment variable can redefine an alias), and one response that points to control panels, and a lot of outdated links to documentation for old versions of Windows, but nobody has answered this bit of Windows arcana.

Open a CMD prompt and type this in to see a complete list of the environmental variables (eg. %TEMP%) on your system:



set


You can also use this list to open special locations in Explorer, using the Start Menu search box.

    For a complete list in NT you should add some more to what's returned by set. Think of %time%, %cd%, %random%... Some more undocumented variables: pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,33812,00.asp

Also if you're interested in Windows Vista or Windows 7 shortcuts then there's also the 'Godmode' folders.



The “Monster” Control Panel



The godmode will enable the “Monster control panel” that includes all functions and is quite large. See below for specific codes to create specific links.




  1. Create a new folder (right-click and click on “New Folder”). Right-click on the folder and click on rename, copy and paste this:



GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}





  1. This folder will now be a shortcut to the Windows 7 godmode. The godmode allows you to quickly access many Windows 7 functions via a GUI.


Specific Godmode Codes



There are other codes for specific features and functions. The “monster control panel” above will give you the complete list of all features at once, but that list is quite lengthy so you might want to create multiple, smaller and specific links:



Important: To use the codes below you don't have to use the word “Godmode”. It can be anything you like.



Example: Foobar.{00C6D95F-329C-409a-81D7-C46C66EA7F33}



Control panel features Code



Enter a default location.{00C6D95F-329C-409a-81D7-C46C66EA7F33}
Use biometric devices with Windows.{0142e4d0-fb7a-11dc-ba4a-000ffe7ab428}
Select a power plan.{025A5937-A6BE-4686-A844-36FE4BEC8B6D}
Select which icons and notifications appear on taskbar.{05d7b0f4-2121-4eff-bf6b-ed3f69b894d9}
Store credentials for automatic logon.{1206F5F1-0569-412C-8FEC-3204630DFB70}
Install a program from the network.{15eae92e-f17a-4431-9f28-805e482dafd4}

    There's nothing special about the string "Godmode"; it can be any name you like, so long as it is followed by a period and then the value in curly braces.

    This is a bit of infrastructure in windows that was intended for the system itself. This expanded listing allows helps the start menu search find items on the control panel. There is nothing here that cannot be reached by more conventional means. But it is kind of neat.

This isn't a complete answer but I just wanted to mention a shortcut I didn't see on any of the links mentioned in the other answers.



Typing startup in the address bar of File Explorer redirects to the Startup Programs folder i.e. to



C:Users%username%AppDataRoamingMicrosoftWindowsStart MenuProgramsStartup


Similarly, typing start menu redirects to



C:Users%username%AppDataRoamingMicrosoftWindowsStart Menu


I mainly use the first one more frequently.

    Open a CMD prompt and type this in to see a complete list of the environmental variables (eg. %TEMP%) on your system:



    set


    You can also use this list to open special locations in Explorer, using the Start Menu search box.

      Use dir env: to do the same in PowerShell. (PowerShell treats the environment, registry, ... rather like more (disk) drives.)

      For a complete list in NT you should add some more to what's returned by set. Think of %time%, %cd%, %random%... Some more undocumented variables: pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,33812,00.asp

    Also if you're interested in Windows Vista or Windows 7 shortcuts then there's also the 'Godmode' folders.



    The “Monster” Control Panel



    The godmode will enable the “Monster control panel” that includes all functions and is quite large. See below for specific codes to create specific links.




    1. Create a new folder (right-click and click on “New Folder”). Right-click on the folder and click on rename, copy and paste this:



    GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}





    1. This folder will now be a shortcut to the Windows 7 godmode. The godmode allows you to quickly access many Windows 7 functions via a GUI.


    Specific Godmode Codes



    There are other codes for specific features and functions. The “monster control panel” above will give you the complete list of all features at once, but that list is quite lengthy so you might want to create multiple, smaller and specific links:



    Important: To use the codes below you don't have to use the word “Godmode”. It can be anything you like.



    Example: Foobar.{00C6D95F-329C-409a-81D7-C46C66EA7F33}



    Control panel features Code



    Enter a default location.{00C6D95F-329C-409a-81D7-C46C66EA7F33}
    Use biometric devices with Windows.{0142e4d0-fb7a-11dc-ba4a-000ffe7ab428}

      This is a bit of infrastructure in windows that was intended for the system itself. This expanded listing allows helps the start menu search find items on the control panel. There is nothing here that cannot be reached by more conventional means. But it is kind of neat.

    This isn't a complete answer but I just wanted to mention a shortcut I didn't see on any of the links mentioned in the other answers.



    Typing startup in the address bar of File Explorer redirects to the Startup Programs folder i.e. to



    C:Users%username%AppDataRoamingMicrosoftWindowsStart MenuProgramsStartup


    Similarly, typing start menu redirects to



    C:Users%username%AppDataRoamingMicrosoftWindowsStart Menu


    I mainly use the first one more frequently.
