as suggested by PaulD, quote from C:\Windows\Tips.txt for all readers:<pre>Windows Explorer Switches
-------------------------
Windows Explorer switches are useful in creating rooted folders:
Explorer [/e,][/root,<object>,] [[<folder>]| [/select,
<sub object>]]
/e Use Explorer view (scope and results
pane view).
The default is open view (results in
pane view only).
/root<object> Specify the object in the "normal" name
space that is used as the root (top level)
for Windows Explorer. The default is the
Desktop folder.
/select The parent folder opens and the specified
object is selected.
<sub object> The folder or file that Windows Explorer
opens. If the /select switch is used, the
sub object is highlighted. If the /select
switch is not used, the folder or file opens
in Explorer. The default is the root<object>.
Examples: Explorer /e, /root, \\Reports
Opens an Explorer window at \\Reports.
Explorer /select, C:\Windows\Calc.exe
Opens a folder at C:\Windows (or activates
one that is currently open), and selects
Calc.exe.
Explorer /e, /root,
\Source\Internal\Design\Users\David\Archive
Opens a folder to the Archive folder. This
is a good way to create a dedicated, remote,
documents archive folder. A link to the
\\Source\Internal\Design\Users\David\Archive
folders can then be placed in the SendTo folder
for quick routing of documents.</pre>
above was taken from a WinMe system. but there is one more option:<pre>Syntax
EXPLORER.EXE [/n][/e][,/root,<object>][[,/select],<sub object>]
Switches
/n: Opens a new window in single-paned (My Computer) view for each item
selected, even if the new window duplicates a window that is
already open.</pre>______________
