What can I put in Windows Explorer's command line to enable me to view
all of my hard drives when it initially opens?

Can you elaborate on that just a bit?

What is Windows "Exploer"? Is that a new program? Just FYI

Good examples:

I created a shortcut which automatically opens my Resumes folder.
Two options, try each and see what appearance you prefer:

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e, C:\zJOBS
%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e, /root, C:\zJOBS

Just replace my foldename (zJOBS) with yours, it'll open in your desired
folder.

Try these also:
%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e, /root

or

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e

But MOST OF THE TIME YOU CAN JUST HIT THESE TWO KEYS:
"WinKey" + "E"
"E" is a standard Windows shortccut for WinExplorer ever since old
FileManager was renamed to Explorer back in 1995 (?) I still remember using
Filemanager and think it's a better name, but much of Windows became a bit
childish so they call it Explorer now..... stupid, directories are now
called folder.... also stupid.

press WinKey and "E" simultaneously - Windows Exploer will start showing all
drives.
