Based on your prompt, I'd say that you're not in bash.
cmd /c start "c:\Documents and Settings\"
works for me. From the cmd prompt,
cmd /c "start "c:\Documents and Settings""
works. I wrote a little program called open,
http://www.davehylands.com/Software/Open/
which opens files the same way as double clicking on them. It also
translates cygwin paths into Win32 paths if you build the cygwin
version.
If passed a directory name, it does the same as choosing "Explore".
