Windows Explorer

[stu]

I love using Windows Explorer to manage my files. I recently upgraded from
Win98SE to XP Pro. I would like to customize Explorer so that when it
opens, my C: drive is expanded and A:, C:, D:, etc. are first on the list.
I know it's a small inconvenience, but it would sure save a few step if I
could change it. I've tried the 'hold shift key while closing' and 'hold
control key while closing'. No change. Any ideas?

Hi Stu,

Create a new shortcut and paste one of the following commands into the "Type
the location of the item" press enter, rename if you like then press enter
again.

Open to the root of C: (without folders)

%SystemRoot%\Explorer.exe /root, C:\

Open to the root of C: (with folders) expanded

%windir%\EXPLORER.EXE /e,c:

Open to the root of C: (with folders) not expanded

%SystemRoot%\Explorer.exe /e, /root, C:\
