I use xplorer2 instead of Windows Explorer.  How would I write the target line so that a particular folder opens in xplorer2 instead of Windows explorer?  Is this possible?

This is the detail on Windows Explorer.  Explorer2 may work the same way.
In what way do you see this as a Keybreeze issue?

Explorer.exe Command Line Syntax

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe [/n][/e][,/root],X,[[/Select],Y]

X specifies the object, and optionally with sub-object Y. /e switch showes the left Windows Explorer tree view navigation pane together with the right pane in list view, while /n hides the left navigation pane. When the /root parameter is present, Explorer.eee will explore the root object (X) and objects belonging to X. On the other hand, when the /root switch is not present, Explorer.exe explores the object X, its children, and other Explorer objects as well. /Select switch puts the focus on a file or folder.

For example:

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /N,%WinDir%\System32,/Select,%WinDir%\System32\Ping.exe

Command aboves will explore the \Windows\System32 folder and put the focus on the ping.exe program.

Tip: Normally, there is no need to specify full path to explorer.exe, which is stored in the Windows folder, obtainable through the environment variable WinDir, as the path already been defined in PATH environment variable, and will be search through accordingly. As such, Explorer will suffice to run the Windows Explorer shell.
