I've been looking through the manual, command reference, etc, and I am thinking I may be missing some commands for file management. I may be looking for the wrong keywords or something.
Basically, I'm trying to automate basic file management, so looking for commands to:
Move a file from folder A to folder B
Copy a file from folder A to folder B
Put a shortcut to a given folder on the desktop
Delete everything inside a folder (regardless of number of contents)
In general, for future Windows management, is there a particular place I should be looking for commands. Is this where something like VB script comes in?

Re: Windows file management
Look at the following functions:
MoveFile
CopyFile
DelFile
DeleteFile
DeleteFolder
To create a shortcut shell the mklink command via Run. Type mklink /h in a command prompt.
