"Explore" vs. "Open"

[Dave Rudisill]

In previous versions of Windows, when I launch Windows Explorer
with the following string:
C:\Windows\explorer.exe /e./select,c:\download\
it would open Explorer with the navigation pane.

Under Vista (Home Premium), it opens without the navigation pane
unless I set the navigation pane to be on any time I open any
folder.

Is there a way to set the default for opening folders to NOT have
the navigation pane and still have Windows Explorer open with
focus in a specific directory AND the navigation pane visible?

Thanks.

Hi Dave,

Use:
explorer.exe /e,/select,c:\download\

Instead of:
explorer.exe /e./select,c:\download\
