Is it possible to open a Windows Explorer window from PowerShell?

Question

I\'m sure this must be possible, but I can\'t find out how to do it.

Any clues?

Answer 1

I came across this question looking for a way to open an Explorer window from PowerShell and also select a file. I'm adding this answer in case others come across it for the same reason.

To launch Explorer and select a file, use Invoke-Expression:

Invoke-Expression "explorer '/select,$filePath'"

There are probably other ways to do this, but this worked for me.
