this is what I have so far…

command openWorkingFolderInFinder pFolderFile
    set the itemdel to "/"
    put pFolderFile into sRootFolder
    delete item -1 of sRootFolder    
    switch platform()
        case "MacOS"
            put ("open " & quote & sRootFolder & quote) into tShell
            break
        case "Win32"
            put ("explorer.exe /n/root," & tRootfolder) into tShell
            break       
    end switch    
    get shell(tShell)
end openWorkingFolderInFinder

Can anyone test if this opens a folder on Windows?

tks

    OK  I studied the doc here:  
    
    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/130510/command-line-switches-for-windows-explorer
    
    and actually the use cases are more often to open a folder
    
    but I don't have windows to test
    
    does this work to open a folder window on Win32?
    
    get shell (”explorer.exe /n,/root,c:\windows\system32\my-project-folder")
