start-process explorer.exe open wrong directory |

(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.

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

Done, thanks.
