The command line options for Explorer are documented in the Windows 95 resource
kit, Win95rk.hlp, which is on the Win95 CD.
The command line string to open in Explorer view (so that the left hand pane
appears is
explorer /e,D:\
(using your drive D:\ example from above)
Note that (a) you can specify any path with the drive letter you want (with a
long path the parameter should be enclosed in quotes), and (b) there is another
switch that makes this the root level so that people can't browse up to higher
levels.
