Under Windows 2000 Server, I used:
%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe c:\ ,/e
It wanted the directory as the first argument, and when I tried to put the /e (to
show as the explorer, not as an "Open" window) after, it complained. The comma (and
space) fixes this.
I'm not sure what the /n does, so I left it out.
My "Start In" is still set to %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%, so it must ignore it.
