Thanks for your hint using the explorer command. The <b>/select</b> &nbsp;option of the explorer command was actually what I was looking for.

Hi,<br />
<br />
When working with the terminal on a MAC OS X system, the &quot;open&quot; command, offers the option &quot;-R&quot; to only show a file or directory in finder but not open the file.<br />
<br />
As far as I tried the &quot;start&quot; analogue at the Windows command line, there isn't such an option. How can I accomplish this?<br />
<br />
Best Regards <br />

Hi,

When working with the terminal on a MAC OS X system, the "open" command, offers the option "-R" to only show a file or directory in finder but not open the file.

As far as I tried the "start" analogue at the Windows command line, there isn't such an option. How can I accomplish this?

Best Regards

&quot;start&quot; - command in windows command line - is there an analogue to &quot;open -R&quot; on Mac OS

Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers. For large systems, the operating system makes sure that different programs and users running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The operating system is also responsible for security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not access the system. Operating systems provide a software platform on top of which other programs, called application programs, can run.

Operating Systems

This topic area includes legacy versions of Windows prior to Windows 2000: Windows 3/3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98, plus any other Windows-related versions including Windows Mobile.
