[www.keralites.net] Directly open File Explorer, and more from Command Prompt interface



Fun & Info @ Keralites.net
Command Prompt is a powerful program application that works at the core of your operating system environment. But the operating systems these days have provided a unique human-machine interacting environment that we rarely use the Command Prompt to accomplish most of our tasks. So, let's have a look at some of the command lines that you can use while working on Command Prompt to open system files, specific folders, and much more.
Go to Start->All Programs->Accessories->Command Prompt, and then follow the given below command lines to open files or folders. For better understanding run your Command Prompt interface in minimized mode.

# Open Explorer window

# Open the current user account root directory

# Open a specific folder on your hard disk
