I want to customize Windows explorer.

I want to go to the C:\ location.

Following the following:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;307856

I can get to the location by doing either
explorer /e, c:\
or
%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e, C:\

But when I create a desktop icon and add either item to the startin
under properties; I get to My Documents when I do
%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e, C:\, If I use
explorer /e, c:\, I get an error that the folder c:\ isn't valid.

I want to use %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e, C:\ and not see my
documents, how to I do this?

Thanks

Do not use the Start In box in the Shortcut properties, use the Target entry
for the shortcut.

Target: %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e, C:\
Start In: %SystemRoot%
 
Thanks for the information.

It works.
