Type any of these example in the Run Dialog:
1. Open Windows Explorer with C:\Windows as the main folder and hide everything else. [similar to double clicking a folder on the desktop]
explorer.exe /root, c:\windows
2. Open Windows Explorer in the default 2-pane view with C:\temp highlighted and expanded
explorer /e, c:\temp
3. Open Windows Explore in 2-pane desktop view and pre-select the system32 folder in the right pane.
explorer /e, /select, c:\windows\system32
Bonus Tip 1: If you frequently access the HOSTS file to block access to certain websites, you can create a shortcut on your destkop that opens up Windows Explorer and automatically selects the HOSTS file for you in one click.
Right click anywhere on the desktop and choose New-Shortcut. Paste the following:
%systemroot%\explorer.exe /e, /select, %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Bonus Tip 2: Change the Windows Explorer Default Startup Folder
Right click the Windows Explorer shortcut in the start menu and click Properties. In the Target box, append the "/root" command-line switch to the "%SystemRoot%\Explorer.exe" command, using the startup location that you want. For example, if you want Windows Explorer to start at the root of drive C, edit the command to the following:
%SystemRoot%\Explorer.exe /root, C:\
