I right-clicked on the Explorer short-cut, selected the Shortcut tab and
changed %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe shown in the "Target" field to
C:WINDOWSexplorer.exe /n, /e, D:
but an error message "The name specified in the Target box is not valid"
was returned.
What is the correct name?

The problem has been resolved: I discovered what was wrong with the name.

It would really be nice if you could provide the details of your solution so
that it may help someone else in the future.

Here you go:

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e, c:\

Where "c" can be any valid drive.
