Explorer Switches
|
There are several switches you can use to
make customized Explorer icons and settings.
Here are the basics.
The syntax for additional switches is:
EXPLORER [/n,] [/e,] [options] [folder]
|
/n, - Opens a new Explorer window
|
|
This will be at the current directory
It will show a single pane with your files and folders of the current
directory
|
/e, - Opens expanded folder
|
|
This options show the typical two pane display
|
Options
|
/root - Selects a folder as the root of the explorer tree
|
-
The root any drive is the Desktop.
-
To illustrate the difference between using /root
and leaving it out,
The following sample was made using EXPLORER /n, /e, c:\
-
Note the inclusion the Desktop, My Computer and
the floppy drive Your Disk C:\
-
The following example includes the /root - EXPLORER
/n, /e, /root, c:\
-
Note the difference between the two examples.
-
Your Disk (C:) is now the top most of the
display, rather than Desktop
|
/Select - Displays a folder's parent directory
|
-
This will display a selected folder's parent
folder
-
For example EXPLORER /n, /e, /select,
C:\WIN\FONTS
-
Note how Win is the selected folder, one
above the Fonts folder.
|
Other examples:
|
The default Explorer setting is EXPLORER.EXE /n,
/e, C:\
The Desktop is EXPLORER /n, /root
