Welcome Sixx!!
I wish i could answer that. I initially thought one could open XY starting with desktop by entering XYplorer %desktop% in command-line. But that doesnt seem like it. I assumed so based on this documentation:
http://88.191.26.34/XYwiki/index.php/En ... _Variables
Ofcourse the above link has the syntax for searches and not for command-line switch.
I am afraid somebody else has to answer your question.

Thanks for investigating. Might not actually be possible with the current command line parsing, though I hope not.

I've never ever used this command-line feature, but what about the last example in this? Doesn't that imply that "My Documents" would work also, if specified without a drive? As that is what is in INI if it was saved as such.

Update:
Well, it seemed to be a decent idea, but on trying it, I can't get it to work...oh well, I gave it a shot...

MyComputer:
XYplorer "" (hmm, have I ever mentioned this trick?? -- No, because it's a side effect of something to long to explain...)
The other two... I'll add them. Good point.

XYplorer.exe "" works when first launching, but if an instance is already open then I get an error dialog: Couldn't find path ""\.
I'm using 6.80 on Vista in case that matters.

Fixed. (No mention in change log, because explanation would be longer than fix...
)
