When I'm in a particular directory in a Windows command prompt, I sometimes want to open Windows Explorer so it already shows that same directory. How do I do that?
(I'm looking for the equivalent to open .
in a Mac OS X terminal.)
Either one of these should do the trick:
explorer .
start .
start foldername
as Chris_K suggested, and only get a new cmd.exe
window, try start "" foldername
instead. If the first argument to start
is quoted, it is taken not as the file/command to be started, but instead as the new window's title. So sometimes it is needed to specify an empty title to get around this idiocy.
