I tend to fire up Windows Explorer instances from my prompt very often, either on the current directory or in other spots. I was pretty used to using the “explorer /e,
command from CMD.EXE but I never had figured out exactly how to use it on PowerShell and have it work reliably: Paths with spaces always caused it to open the default documents folder instead.
Finally sat down and played with it until I got it right:
# open explorer in this directory
function exp([string] $loc = '.') {
explorer "/e,"$loc""
}
