Just to clear that up, depending which script/utility you are using to 
initiate the code you can use:
%windir%\explorer.exe

I remember dissecting a bit of malicious code attached to an email about 6 
years ago.
I remember thinking 'whoever wrote this can't be older than 12'.
It had hardcoded
c:\windows\...blah blah blah
and
c:\win95..blah blah blah
I guess these were attempts to cover their bases.  Why not just use %winnt% 
or %windir%?
I adjusted the script with %windir%and it worked (I think it might have 
been WSH, but that would be Win98, but in any case I remember it worked).
