The following examples describe the use of Windows Explorer switches.

•	Explorer /n This command opens an Explorer window using the default setting. This is usually the root of the drive on which Windows is installed.
•	Explorer /e This command starts Windows Explorer using the default view.
•	Explorer /e,C:\Windows This command starts Windows Explorer using the default view, with the focus on C:\Windows.
•	Explorer /root, C:\Windows\Cursors This command starts Windows Explorer at the C:\Windows\Cursors folder. This example uses C:\Windows\Cursors as the "root" directory for Windows Explorer. NOTE: Note the comma after the "/root" switch in the command.
•	Explorer /select, C:\Windows\Cursors\banana.ani This command starts Windows Explorer with the "C:\Windows\Cursors\banana.ani" file selected. NOTE: Note the comma after the "/select" switch in the command.

The Windows Explorer switches can be combined in a single command. The following example shows the combination of the Windows Explorer command-line switches.
