Windows Explorer. The default is the Desktop folder.

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.
