Natural peanut butter should be refrigerated after opening. Other kinds of peanut butter can last longer at room temperature, but always check the labels anyway. Is really a matter of personal taste. I do enjoy peanut butter at room temperature and Ive never found any fungus or bacteria living in there.
You can store shortening in both these places.
It really depends on how long you want to store it. If you want it to last longer, then store it in the refrigerator. If you use it fast enough, you can store it in the cupboard. Since shortening is fairly cheep, I would recommend storing it in the cupboard and smelling it before using it each time. If it smells rancid, throw it out.

To accomplish this, the shortening should be solid shortening and be ice cold while you work with it because if the shortening warms, it will soak into the flour before flakes can be formed. Some chefs place their bowl of flour and shortening into a bowl of ice to ensure that the shortening stays cold while they're combining the two.
