Hello I need a little help with the option for "Tools" and opening windows explorer.
If I go here: File - Options - Tools - Windows-Explorer
I know the /e option by itself opens Explorer in dual pane view, maximized every time, but what if I want to open the window maximized but in only single pane view?
I know I should remove the switch /e and that works to open the window in single pane view. But now I cant figure what switch I use to open the single pane view maximized. Any help would be appreciated.

Hmm, may be ...

Ya I tried the command line you suggested but it opened up to the C:\ drive.
I even tried: start /max, /select, "%\_path%" but that opens to C:\ drive also.
I have been scouring Google for about an hour before I posted here but cant seem to find the switch...
Edit:
Awesome! Ok I edited my post as I see what your reference to was creating a new tool.
It worked! A little slow as it invokes cmd.exe to call windows explorer to open full screen but it works! Thank you so much!
Initially I was misleading myself as I was just trying to edit the original tool to call a full screen or maximized window but I dont think it is possible using a command line swith as I tried Google for a few hours now with no luck...

Here are the command-line switches you can use to tailor Windows Explorer to fit your needs:
```
/n opens Windows Explorer in single-pane view, which is similar to the view you see when you open My Computer.
/e opens Windows Explorer in multipane view, which is the view used when you open it from the default Windows Explorer shortcut on the Start menu.
/root,
