Is there a way to write a batch file or script which would bring the contents of a folder on the screen in Windows Explorer? My new camera software puts all the pictures in a remote folder and to go to it, I have to make 11 clicks on the folder tree.

Yes, but a better solution would be to make a Windows shortcut to explore.exe and use the switches as outlined in this KB article to make it open where you want it to.

Other wise use the same switches in your batch file. Default switch string is
C:\WINDOWS\EXPLORER.exe /n,/e,C:\

It might be faster to make a shortcut to the folder where the pictures are stored. Clicking on it will start explorer there.
