The shortcut for opening My Computer is this-
C:\Windows\explorer.exe /n,::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}
Now, since Rainmeter doesn't accept spaces, I'm writing it as
!Execute ["C:\Windows\explorer.exe" "/n,::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}"]
But instead of opening My Computer, its opening My Documents. The my documents cmd is actually just /n, not with the CLSID value.
I know, I'm doing sth silly here. Anyone care to point out ??

The easiest way I found was to create a desktop shortcut for whatever you want and then move that shortcut to whatever folder you like and then point the mouseaction to that shortcut

In all honesty I would stay away from using explorer switches to open the folder. Explorer has a "flaw"when using that switch and it doesn't end the explorer process you created and keeps it in memory instead

Don't get mad when you don't understand something
Be VERY specific with what you ask for.
Do not just copy and paste what I put in examples and come back saying it doesn't work.does

well, thats certainly a workaround. But its not at all geeky. I'm not at all fine with the fact that I have to deal with an extra shortcut.

Just put the CLSID value like this example...
If at first you don't succeed; call it version 0.1
