Run Windows Explorer from a Command Prompt
To run Windows Explorer from a command prompt: 1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. In the Open box, type Explorer, and then click OK.
Examples
The following examples describe the use of Windows Explorer switches. • Explorer /n
This command opens an Explorer window using the default setting. This is usually the root of the drive on which Windows is installed.
• Explorer /e
This command starts Windows Explorer using the default view.
• Explorer /e,C:\Windows
This command starts Windows Explorer using the default view, with the focus on C:\Windows.
• Explorer /root, C:\Windows\Cursors
This command starts Windows Explorer at the C:\Windows\Cursors folder. This example uses C:\Windows\Cursors as the "root" directory for Windows Explorer.
NOTE: Note the comma after the "/root" switch in the command.
• Explorer /select, C:\Windows\Cursors\banana.ani
This command starts Windows Explorer with the "C:\Windows\Cursors\banana.ani" file selected.
NOTE: Note the comma after the "/select" switch in the command.
The Windows Explorer switches can be combined in a single command. The following example shows the combination of the Windows Explorer command-line switches. • Explorer /root, \\server\share, select, Program.exe
This command starts Windows Explorer using the remote share as its "root" folder, along with the Program.exe file selected
