Handy Links within SharePoint
Below is a list of SharePoint links. Some are easy to find within the application interface and others quite difficult to discover. I broke them down into the more obscure ones (first) and the standard site settings (as viewed from a Site Collection) links.
PLEASE NOTE: If you remove the /15/ from the link, most of these will function in 2010 as well. SharePoint will automatically redirect you to the correct version of the application, should you visit a link with the /15/ removed.
Hope you find it helpful.
