As a variation to your first .bat file, here's a way to open explorer on a file in "explore" mode:
explorer /e,/select,%1
You might have to press "tab" to actually select the file.

  The command line options for Explorer are explained here [microsoft.com]. Despite the claim at the top of the article, these, at least, also work for Win98.

    Thanks, I looked all over for that, and only ever found a partial list!
    I really miss when Microsoft made programs where you could do "progname /?" and get a list of all the switches.
    And when I am the cruel Kommissar of these things, "progname /?dll" will also list all the DLL functions this program supports.
    I know, this is all CRAZY TALK!
