Can't say I'd heard about shell: before, or if I did I don't remember.

Does not seem to work at all

Tried other shell: commands, same lack of results. They work from Windows (which is new to me & interesting) to open folders.

Virtual shell: folders will not work, only shell: folders with a valid path will work in Everything.

For a list of known folders, and their types, see:
