I have in the past promoted JP Software's Take Command as an alternative command line shell for Windows users. As far as I am aware it is the only OpenAFS aware command shell. There are many benefits for OpenAFS users:
1. It permits UNC paths to be the current directory so drive letter
mappings are not required.
2. The command parser understands UNIX style inputs
/afs/your-file-system.com/user/jaltman
and automatically converts them to UNC notation
\\afs\your-file-system.com\user\jaltman
3. The command language contains @AFSCELL, @AFSMOUNT, @AFSPATH,
@AFSSYMLINK, @AFSVOLID, @AFSVOLNAME functions which operate on paths.
and new in the 14.03 release:
4. MKLINK and MKLNK can be used to create hard links in AFS
5. Directory output displays mount point and symlink target information:
