When I press CTRL and E, an explorer appears with the directory My Computer open. How do I change it to, say, D:/Archive
Thanks.
Thanks.

Hi
Type or copy/paste the following into the Target: pane for the WE shortcut:
%systemroot%\EXPLORER.EXE /e,d:\archive
%systemroot%\EXPLORER.EXE /e, - will open WE with My Computer expanded. For
any other folder, add the drive letter + folder.

Hi Kelly
Yes - and just re-checked - to both - but with a different named folder on
my D drive. I've also tried with a folder on each of my partitions (6
accessible) - all work and WE opens with specified folder expanded.

Oops - mis-read the Q. I was answering another thread - opening WE via a
shortcut - and got the 2 crossed. I'm just off out, perhaps as well.

Ctrl+E? I can't even get that to work. Do we mean Windows Key+E?
Just checking.

There is no 'we' in the context of this statement.
