How to open the / directory from a menu entry?

[Caramel]

Trying to create a entry menu for the command "rox /home/vscode/vscode/AppRun" (related to viewtopic.php?p=128491#p128491), I realizes that i do not know how to create a menu entry with an argument.

For opening the / directory via a menu entry , I tried

Exec=rox /

and

Exec="rox /"

in /usr/share/applications/ROX-Filer.desktop without success

(I used fixmenus, relaunch of JWM, relaunch of X and reboot)

EDIT :

Problem with Menumanager ( tab Menu in EasyJWM )
