They have the following meaning:
Explorer /n
This command opens an Explorer window using the default setting. This
is usually the root of the drive on which Windows is installed.
Explorer /e
This command starts Windows Explorer using the default view.
Explorer /e,C:\Windows
This command starts Windows Explorer using the default view, with the
focus on C:\Windows.
Explorer /root, C:\Windows\Cursors
This command starts Windows Explorer at the C:\Windows\Cursors folder.
This example uses C:\Windows\Cursors as the "root" directory for Windows
Explorer.
