i wondered this question myself. Yes you can. i tried it and its better for u and it works.
Use the same amount of butter as you would shortening. In bread, a tablespoon of butter can be used instead of a tablespoon of shortening. The same amount of canola oil is even healthier.
Butter or lard can be used instead of shortening in cakes. Some types of neutral-tasting oils, such as vegetable oil or canola oil, can be used in many cake recipes.
Yes
For most cookies you can't use oil in place of shortening.
No. Checkers, like many food processors, uses solid canola shortening.
shortening is like butter 1 cup of shortening is equal to 1 cup of butter
Any neutral tasting oil, such as canola oil, can be used in Snickerdoodle recipes, although the cookies may be somewhat thinner than when made with butter. Other good substitutions include solid shortening, Coconut Oil (which is solid at room temperature,) and lard.
Yes, melted shortening can replace vegetable oil in zucchini bread, although shortening is not a healthy choice.
yes

You can but you are going to have a slightly different texture.
You could substitute shortening for oil in a cake mix, but it is not recommended. The resulting cake made with shortening will have a noticeably different texture and mouthfeel. Yes you Can. Shortening.. or Hydrogenated Oil is basically poison anyways.
