Method 1Its easy to jump to a dirve or a location in cmd by giving the command C: , D: etc. But have you ever thought of opening a window like 'My Computer' with a command in CMD?
It is very simple. Try typing the command "
explorer" without quotes. You will be shocked to see your 'My Documents' window displayed.
But duing my search to open other locations directly with the same command, I found something interesting.
Try typing "
explorer," without quotes. You will find your 'My Computer' window poping. Try typing "
explorer,.". You will get a different output. It changes with the changes you make with the symbols.
To open other locations you can type the location after the word
explorer with a space or a coma. Eg:
explorer c:\windows or
explorer,c:\windowsThis commands are working in 'Run' box also. But the commands with symbols may not work.
Rest is left to you. Keep trying different symbols and explore more.....
Method 2
The "
start" also can be used for opening a window from CMD.
Syntax:
start c:
This will do the same job of explorer.
