Calling Explorer from batch file under Win98?

[Harry Potter]

I have a Win98 computer that has a small hard drive, and I want to empty out its hard drive. I've been doing well so far. Now, somebody elsewhere told me that he compressed parts of his hard drive and used batch files to temporarily decompress some information. I want to do the same, but I want to execute Windows Explorer to open the folder. How do I call Explorer? What are the switches I need?

Since this is comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.win32, the answer is that a
batch file can not use Windows API.

I just want to open the Explorer from the batch file. I'll check Google now.
