As far as I can determine, AutoIt v3 has no command dedicated to opening/creating a simple window.

PROPOSED:

Opens/Creates a window.

WinCreate ( ["dirPath"] [, flag]] )

Parameters
dirPath [optional] The directory displayed in the window.
flag [optional] The "show" flag of the window:
@SW_HIDE = Hidden window
@SW_MINIMIZE = Minimized window
@SW_MAXIMIZE = Maximized window

Using WinCreate with no arguments [i.e., WinCreate() ] opens a window showing the current working directory. Macros such as @DesktopDir, @ScriptDir, etc. as well as variables could be used for the path.

GUICreate() ?

[weaponx]

Run('explorer.exe "c:\windows"', @ScriptDir, @SW_MAXIMIZE)

Do you mean like opening a CMD prompt ?

[weaponx]

Run('cmd.exe /K cd "c:\windows"', "", @SW_SHOW)

Moving to the rejected forum since there's a remarkable lack of explanation on this one. In any event, there's a very good chance we aren't going to implement whatever it is the user wants anyway.

[therks]

Run('explorer.exe "c:\windows"', @ScriptDir, @SW_MAXIMIZE)

Even simpler:

ShellExecute(@ScriptDir)

Or maximized:

ShellExecute(@ScriptDir, '', '', '', @SW_MAXIMIZE)
