Default Opening Cursor Position for Explorer

[Chip Earle]

This is a minor peeve, but whenever I open Windows
Explorer (right click on Start and left click on Explore)
the directory tree opens and places the blue cursor in
the "c:\documents and settings\chip\start menu"
directory.

Obviously I have very little reason to be there and I
would rather that whole tree closed and have my cursor at
the C: root directory.

Does anyone know how I can change the default position?

Thanks

Create a new shortcut to the EXPLORER.EXE with the command-line
EXPLORER.EXE /e, C:\
The mentioned entry is for quick accessing the Start Menu in an
Explorer window. So if you do not have need for this, don't use this
menu item.

As an added tip, a shortcut to Windows Explorer is Logo
key + E.
