i sometimes use the File > Explore at Screenshot Directory option for file management purposes. however i would prefer more control on how the folder opens since most of the file-managers support command-line parameters.

e.g. "C:\Program Files\Altap Salamander 2.5\SALAMAND.exe" -R %folder%
or
C:\totalcmd\totalcmd.exe /O /T /R="%folder%"

@justice: currently i add the filemanagers in 'external tools' section. (see pic) but the earlier mentioned option is also available from the systray icon, making it even more handier.. :)
