Create a shortcut to explorer. Right click, properties, insert the
following in target:

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e, c:\

This works, but it doesn't open directory trees or anything like that and
doesn't look particularly useful. YMMV

Right click on the icon and select Properties. Change the target field to:

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe c:\

There should also be a way to get the syntax options, but /?, ?, etc.,
didn't work for me the way I thought they would.

Cheers, Dave

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e,/select,c:\users\me\downloads\

opens Explorer with DOWNLOADS selected, but not expanded

How can Explorer be opened with DOWNLOADS expanded, so that its files
are displayed?

dev,

/select,<object> Opens a window view with the specified folder, file,
or program selected.

Use:

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e, c:\users\me\downloads\

I deleted the /select and it worked for me, expanded in the left pane and
shows files/folders in the right pane.
