Windows Explorer Tricks I got this one from Russ's comments on this post. If you use a command prompt in Windows, type "start ." to open Explorer for the current directory. If you're a Cygwin user like me, this won't work - but "explorer ." does work! Even better, create an alias in your .bashrc file (alias open='explorer') and then you can type "open ." Sweet!

"start" is a built in command. Try "cmd /c start ...".

You can also do this on OS X through the terminal using the open . command to open the current window in the Finder. There is even an applescript that you can put in your finder toolbar that when clicked opens the current folder displayed in the finder in the terminal.
