Some specific Windows folders/items have their own ID within the registry, called a CLSID value (Class Identifier). Making a shortcut to explorer.exe and referring to this value can be a useful way to create some shortcuts.
Command line should look like this:
explorer /root,,::{xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}
Running IE5 you probably have to leave "/root," out to get them going. Or add "/e," instead to have the item opened in explorer, instead of a seperate window. Here's the clsid values:

One oddity, for the control panel it should read:
explorer /root,,::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\::{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}
Note some of these might get inverted in different windows versions, so if one doesn't work try something else.
