In my copy of VS2005, $(ProjectDir) has only a single trailing backslash.
This has been the case in prior versions too. Are you sure there isn't some
other variable that's involved too?

It's not a terminating slash that's the problem, it's double slashes.
When running the external command, in the Arguments entry filed I had
$(ProjectDir) which should point to the project's directory. However,
when explorer.exe is started, the VS2005 IDE passes the $(ProjectDir) as
"c:\someroot\somesub\anothersub\\" Notice the double slashes at the end
of the directory. Adding a dot here would accomplish nothing. As I said,
explorer.exe cannot open nor browse to a folder that is terminated with
double slashes as the VS2005 IDE passes.

I agree. What about just adding a dot at the end? e.g. "C:\MyFolder\."?
Strangely, explorer.exe has no trouble with terminal slashes on my setup.
(explorer.exe version 6.0.2900.2180, Win XP Pro SP2)
