BTW that tip came from a file that comes with Win 98 and ME:
C:\WINDOWS\Tips.txt (near the bottom):
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. |
