Batch File Solutions

Solution 1 - Batch File

You can try like this:

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe "c:\Yaya\yoyo\"

Solution 2 - Batch File

I think it should be this:

explorer c:/Yaya/yoyo

Solution 3 - Batch File

The start command needs blank quotes at the beginning, as it uses the first double quoted phrase as the "Window title"

start "" "c:\Yaya\yoyo\"

Solution 4 - Batch File

Open notepad and type

START C:\Yaya\yoyo\

Save as: filename.BAT

Edit: Some people have reported a string after the START keyword, wrapping the path inside double quotes is better as the path can have files/folder names with spaces.

 START "" "C:\Yaya\yoyo\"

In newer systems, For example, Windows 10 title is ignored because CMD opens and closes in the blink of any eye. The syntax for starting a new process is

Syntax

START "title" [/D path] [options] "command" [parameters]

Wherein

title - Text for the CMD window title bar (required.)
path - Starting directory.
command - The command, batch file or executable program to run.
parameters - The parameters passed to the command.

Solution 5 - Batch File

Here are two examples to open folders, one in the location and the other with the folder selected in the parent directory.

:: Open an Explorer window with the 'temp' folder displayed and its parent hidden:
Explorer.exe /e,/root,"%temp%"

:: This one will open the parent directory and automatically select the 'temp' folder:
Explorer.exe /select,"%temp%"
