Alias to open a specific directory inside the Windows Explorer

How to do it

  • Edit your .profile file
  • Type
alias <YourAliasName> = "start <YourDrive>:/Specific/Path"

Tip

For example to open your Program Files folder create an alias like this

alias <YourAliasName>="start c:/Program\ Files"

The space between Program and Files is specified by \ (an antislash) followed by a space.

Warning

Don’t use \ to separate your folders inside your paths but /.
