Well if I would have read the examples at the bottom I would have seen you
can select a file as per this example

explorer /select,c:\windows\calc.exe

I would recommend you check out the Microsoft knowledge base at the
following link


http://support.microsoft.com/default...Product=wd2002
watch for word wrap
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?
