Subject: bug#66514: start-process explorer.exe open wrong directory
Date: Fri, 13 Oct 2023 11:40:44 +0000

(Emacs v29.1 on MS-Windows)

Reproduce:

  1. $ emacs.exe -Q
  2. (start-process "Explorer" nil "explorer.exe" "C:/Users/username")

I think it should open the HOME folder,
but it actually opened "C:/Users/username/Documents".

When I use shell-mode or eshell, explorer works as expected.
