Whenever I go to my command prompt and type a “c:\temp” or any other file/directory, it takes me to the command prompt rather than the file explorer. Can somebody please tell me how I can fix this so that all file/directory access from cmd takes me to the file explorer.
I have a Win2k3 64bit machine. Has this got anything to do with the 32bit/64bit explorer ?

    To run Windows Explorer from command prompt you must type name of the executable:

    explorer.exe
    

    or just

    explorer
    

    To open a certain folder, pass the path as an arguments. Details here:

    See examples.
