    If you have the SDK installed on your PC, use "adb shell ls" to list the contents of your phone

    while your phone is connected to the PC, of course.

    once you have installed adb and an open command prompt window in your computer just type shell
    am assuming you know how to run adb, your phone does not need to be mounted

    instead of just typing adb type "adb shell" and if you are just right clicking on adb.exe and running in a command window, forget that. do this:
    1. start - run
    2. cmd <enter>
    3. cd "Desktop\Etc\Programs\Android\android-sdk-windows-1.1_r1\tools" <enter>
    4. adb shell <enter>
    now you will be in a terminal window of your phone.
