the article q130510 talks about the command-line switches for explorer. The
/e switch tells explorer to open in explorer view and the /root switch
specifies the root level folder to view. There is a switch /select which
allows sub object selection but I'm not sure if that is just for folders or
allows file also. Give it a try

One more thing. In the SHELL function you gave me, what does the
"\e,\root," do?
