Sorry, but I don't have Vista, so I cannot verify/fix it.

I'm going to leave it open, unless someone investigate it and submit a patch 
(or I
install Vista, which is unlikely to happen)

In tarlog.eclipse.plugins.openwe.OpenInWindowsExplorerAction change
"Runtime.getRuntime().exec("explorer ,/select, " + path);" to
"Runtime.getRuntime().exec("explorer /select, " + path);"!

This solves the problem, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/152457 for the 
command
options. This is tested in Vista x86.
