What is the command to select a specific folder opening up explorer.exe?
I've tried different parameters for c:\\windows\\explorer.exe but it doesn't work. |

This seems to work for me:
acShellExecute("open", "C:\\windows\\", "", "", 1)

| I tried to figure it out myself, but wasn't able to. Could you show me what goes into each field in order to open a specific folder. E.g. How to open "Downloads" folder in windows 7? Thanks in advance, and this program is awesome!!! |

This works on my system. You'll need to update the path accordingly on yours. The easiest way is to open the Downloads folder in Windows Explorer and click in the Address Bar, that will then show the full path to the folder. Then update the script as needed, making sure you use 2 backslashes in place of single backslashes to properly escape them.
acShellExecute("open", "C:\\Users\\Rob\\Downloads", "", "", 1) |

 Thanks Rob, it was the double backslashes. |

Just FYI, most Windows APIs work with forward slashes as path separators, even though it's not advertised.
So acShellExecute("open", "C:/Users/Rob/Downloads", "", "", 1) would work too. |

This works for me:
acRunProgram("c:\\windows\\explorer.exe","/e,::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}",0, 1) |
