Default Can I select a file this way?

the Run box (or any other way) to get it selected (highlighted) in File
Explorer please?

Found a very neat method from Grant Taylor in the batch newsgroup. He
suggested this old method might still work in Win 10 - and happily it
does!

Win r, Opens Run box, then type: 'Explorer /select, Ctrl+V' Enter

I found that the comma is crucial. Without it any entry displays
C:\Users\(username)terry\Documents
