What is the exhaustive list of command line shortcuts to Microsoft settings?

Question

I've gotten quite used to typing compmgnt.msc or similar commands to bring up certain dialogs faster than it would take me to navigate to them. For this one in particular I just tap Start then r enter c o down-arrow enter. There's others I use too, but I wish there were a centralized compendium of commands for the like this for the command line or run... field. At least for Windows Sever 2003. And it certainly would be nice if it were a brief but complete description in the table/list that was searchable or filterable.

Has anyone seen a list like this that you could link to in your answer? Perhaps with a sample in the answer of what it would describe compmgngt.msc as for find usage.

(Aside (not part of the question) by find I mean whatever you use to jump through a long webpage. For me it's Control-F, but I'm trying not to exclude people who'd use F3 or '/' or Alt-E-F or any method not called find etc etc. depending on your browser.)

EDIT:

I guess you meant keyboard shortcuts in general. The following is a list of Windows "run" commands. I'll keep this up for my own benefit.
