Where "%windir%" represents "Windows" directory present in the system drive where Windows is installed in your system e.g. C:\Windows\.
So just type the above mentioned path in RUN dialog box or in Windows Explorer address bar and press Enter. It'll open the directory as shown in following screenshot:
