	Command Line Switches:
	Windows Explorer supports a few command line switches, e.g.

		%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e, /root

	gives you the root directory as your default.


	Full Syntax:
	The full syntax looks like this:

		explorer.exe[/n] [/e] [,root,<object>] [[,/select],<subobject>]


	/n switch:
	Opens a new window in a single-paned view (just like My Computer's 
	default view) for each items selected, and it will do this
	regardless of how many windows already containing that item are
	open.


	/e switch:
	This is the default Windows Explorer view.


	/select,<sub-object> switch:
	Enables you to first specify a folder to get the focus when Windows 
	Explorer opens up, but if you add the <sub-object> bit you can 
	specify an item to be selected in Windows Explorer.


	Examples:
	1.	If you wanted to create a Windows Explorer view for a specific
		network server, try the following line at the command prompt:

		   	explorer /e,/root\\<server name>

	2.	If you always use a particular file but need to change its 
		attributes before opening, this would not only take you to 
		the right folder, but would also select the file for you:

			exporer /select,<drive>:\<folder>\<filename>

		So,

			explorer /select,c:\@work\html\webpages\GJ2\index.htm

		on my system would load Windows Explorer with the home page of
		my website selected for me.
