When I press Win+E, Explorer opens, at "Computer", i. e. with the
drives
in the right-hand pane.

What would be the command-line (or Run, or Shortcut) version to open
Explorer there?

I've tried:

explorer opens at "Libraries".

explorer \\ opens at
C:\Users\username\Documents.

explorer \ opens at C:\

explorer \.. opens at C:\

explorer \\computer-name\ opens at
Network\computer-name


The info from the W95 tips.txt file still works for me:

[Windows Explorer Switches]
Windows Explorer switches are useful in creating rooted folders:

Explorer [/e][,/root,object][[,/select],sub object]

/e Use Explorer view (scope and results pane view). The default is Open
view (results in pane view only).
/rootobject Specify the object in the "normal" name space that is used
as the root (top level) of this Explorer/Folder (i.e., local path
or UNC name). The default is the Desktop).
/Select The parent folder opens and the specified object is selected.
sub object Specify the folder unless /select is used. The default is
the root.

Examples: Explorer /e, /root, \\Reports opens an Explorer window at \\Reports.

Explorer /select, C:\Windows\Calc.exe opens a folder at
C:\Windows (or activates one that is currently open) and
selects Calc.exe.
Explorer /e, /root, \\Source\Internal\Design\Users\David\Archive
opens a folder to the Archive folder above. This is a good
way to create a dedicated, remote, documents archive
folder. A link to this folder
(\\Source\Internal\Design\ Users\David\Archive) can then be
placed in the SendTo folder for quick routing of documents.
