For example, if you want Explorer to open to the Computer folder so that no
drive branches are initially expanded??”which is handy if you have several
drives and you want to see them all on equal footing??”type this:
explorer.exe /n,/e,/select,c:\
Or, to display an Explorer window rooted at C:\, use this:
explorer.exe /n,/e,/root,c:\
In addition to launching Explorer with these parameters, you can open an
Explorer window in the context of any object on the screen and Windows
will send you to the right place.
For example, you can right-click on any visible folder icon (on your desktop,
in an open folder, and even in the tree pane of another Explorer window)
and select Explore to open a new Explorer window with the folder in
question highlighted. You can also explore from various system objects by
right-clicking and selecting Explore. This works on the Start button, any
folder in your Start menu, and folders in your file dialogs.
Get to the Desktop
If you have to reach over a pile of papers just to reach your keyboard, then
you??™re the type who likes surfaces. The Windows desktop is no exception,
and yours is probably full of files you need. Problem is, they??™re always
underneath everything else.
Here are some ways to get to the stuff on your desktop without much hassle:
Minimize everything
Hold the Windows logo key (which we??™ll call Winkey, just to be cute)
and press D to quickly show the desktop. Press Winkey-D again to
restore your windows (although not necessarily in the same sequence).
