MS-DOS Problem

[cgrisg]

Hi,

Can anyone give me a DOS command I can put in a batch
file to simply open an explorer window of the specified
folder. I had it working earlier, but I am unable to
recreate it with a long path.

I had achived what I wanted with the command:

start g:\files

However, I cannot get it to work with 'g:\files\chris's
work' I have tried putting double quotes and everything

Any help much appreciated

Chris!

should be easier with a script. Do you need DOS instead of vbscript / WSH ?

start "G:\something\something else"

is all that is needed.

Use the command:

explorer [path]

Hmmmm...
start "G:\something\something else"
opens a command window for me

start "" "G:\something\something else"
does work as intended here
(the first set of quotes is for an optional title)

start "G:\something\something else"

is all that is needed.

You're welcome. I couldn't get "Start" command to work at all.
