In the past I have used the following 'script' in the target properties of my
shortcut to open Windows Explorer: C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe /e,/select,C:\

It takes me directly to a screen showing all my folders in the LH screen and
the cursor is in the RH screen. I have found this to be very useful rather
than always opening my folders in the default "My Documents"

Is there somewhere where these 'scripts' are documented so that others can
be used - like going directly to a pre-defined netwok sub-folder which I
would like to do.

Rub the lamp and the genie appears! And says, "Oh yes, Master, simply click
here!"

Perfect thanks - probably saves me 500 mouse clicks per day...
