(Emacs v29.1 on MS-Windows)
Reproduce:
1. $ emacs.exe -Q
2. (start-process "Explorer" nil "explorer.exe" "C:/Users/username")
I think it should open the HOME folder,
but it actually opened "C:/Users/username/Documents".
When I use shell-mode or eshell, explorer works as expected.

Try
(start-process "Explorer" nil "explorer.exe" "C:\\Users\\username")

How exactly do you "use shell-mode or eshell" to start the Explorer?

Thanks for your help! This expression works perfectly.
It seems that the forward slash is for the explorer to receive
arguments.

This is a faulty memory, and when I wrote the bug report, I tested
only the 'reproduce' section. My mistake.
The bug can now be closed; it's more about 'explorer.exe' rather
than Emacs.

Yes, MS-Windows programs frequently treat the forward slash as the
option character, instead of the dash.
