Opening Folders in Command Prompt

I usually use ps1, but sometimes I want to write in bat. In PowerShell it's ii, but in command prompt you can open it with explorer.

e.g. explorer c:\startup

...I wish they'd unify cmd commands with PowerShell...

However, there's a slight disadvantage to opening folders in command prompt - you can't use QTtabbar.

With ps1, it opens in the same window

PS C:\Users\ifgm2> ii C:\_anime\
PS C:\Users\ifgm2> ii C:\_downloads\

(By the way, this way opens them in separate windows)

ii C:\_anime\ ; ii C:\_downloads\

With cmd, they open in separate windows.

C:\Users\ifgm2>explorer  C:\startup
C:\Users\ifgm2>explorer  C:\_anime

If you're opening many folders, I think it's better to use ps1.
