Oh, tapping the environment is cool, thanks!  Relying on PATH didn't work 
for me, though:
os.spawnl(os.P_NOWAIT, 'explorer.exe', ...
gave me:
<type 'exceptions.OSError'> [Errno 2] No such file or directory

I switched to Mike Driscoll's suggestion, which didn't need a path:
subprocess.Popen('explorer /n,/e,/select,"%s"'%utils.GetRootPath())

(My environment: XP not SP2, Python 2.5.1, wx 2.8.4.0)
