Windows Explorer problem
In the properties for my “Windows Explorer” icon I have recently set the target as %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e,D:\1 Barkly\ and now explorer opens
only at “1 Barkly” with all the other directories under D:\ closed.
This is something I do regularly when using a specific directory for a project and normally all the other directories open and the curser goes to the
selected directory but this time not.
Obviously I cut something out of the instruction string but am not sure what, how do I correct this?

I don't think there should be a comma in there after the /e and if there's a space in the path (d:\1 Barkly) you generally need to
enclose it in quotes

The command I use is:
%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /n, /e, c:\temp
Which opens up my temp dir and leaves all others visible but closed.
%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /n, /e, D:\1 Barkly in your case.
If that's not what you want then here's a list of all the syntax so you can roll your own:

Why not just create a shortcut to the directory?
