[Pegleg]

How can I configure windows explorer so that when opened it opens with
my "Local Disk (C" expanded?

TIA

So many people ask this question! I am surprised Microsoft haven't made
the solution into a standard option for users.

Find and copy the Windows Explorer short cut from
Start/programs/accessories (might be "all programs"). Paste the shortcut
on your desktop, then right-click it and choose properties. In the
Target field, edit the short cut to read

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e, C:\

Click OK. That's it!

Bonus Tip 2: Change the Windows Explorer Default
Startup Folder

Right click the Windows Explorer shortcut in the start
menu and click Properties. In the Target box, append
the "/root" command-line switch to the
"%SystemRoot%\Explorer.exe" command, using the
startup location that you want. For example, if you want
Windows Explorer to start at the root of drive C, edit
the command to the following:

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