Hi. I'm Brian and I will do my best to help you.
%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe %temp% would be a command you could use to open the Temp folder in File Explorer. What you have included is incorrectly specified.
What is ' C:\WINDOWS\system32>%SystemRoot\explorer.exe %temp%\ ' ?

Was using CMD to go through the files on my PC to do some cleaning after something was causing the 'System Interrupts' to run the CPU at 96%+ and while combing through the list there were these 2 entries:
C:\WINDOWS\system32>%SystemRoot\explorer.exe %temp%\
The system cannot find the path specified.
C:\WINDOWS\system32>%SystemRoot\explorer.exe%temp%\
'%SystemRoot\explorer.exeC:\Users\s_mar\AppData\Local\Temp\' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
If not recognized, then why would my system parse them to begin with to try and list the files under those 2 paths?
Isn't ' explorer.exe%temp%\ ' the folder for the Temp Cache? If so, then why wasn't is recognized by my system?
Any and all help is appreciated. Thank you!
