Well, Bro, the only problem I can see is the double slash in front of
"root". It's supposed to be just a single slash in front of each option.
If that's just a typo in your message, then I can't see the
problem. I tried typing your command into the "run" dialog and it worked
fine for me (without the double slash, that is). The only thing I can
think of is that explorer on Win2K works differently from the one on
Win ME. I kind of doubt it though.
Messing around in the run dialog (in the start menu) is definitely a good
way to experiment. If you don't have a run option showing in your start
menu, open a command line window and do it from there. It's a lot
faster and easier than repeatedly modifying the command line in a
shortcut properties dialog.
Good luck!
