Although I'm a python fan; for that kind of stuff, I use autohotkey (

Best,

Experiment with:

explorer.exe /select,<path-to-file>

(assuming "kind of tips")

I stuck "explorer command line options" into Google and... Bingo!
(All right, I'm cheating a bit: I knew that explorer *had* command
line options because I've been around a bit).

Re: &quot;Show this file in explorer&quot;

But now I have a more technical question. when I run this command, I
saw that the windows explorer did not refresh,example : I have two
files in a folder and i use that command to select them from command
line, the first one will be selected, but after running the command
for second file, the second remains unselected. So I need to close the
explorer and run the command again for the second file. this is
different from the way iTunes do it.
Any Idea?
TIA.

I think you want some sort of OLE automation. Perhaps this will
help...
