default start directory for Windows Explorer

[jborcher]

In Windows 2000 is there a way to change the starting
point for Windows Explorer rather than accepting the
default starting position of 'my computer' ? Depending on
my current focus, I'd like to reset this, perhaps weekly,
to various subdirectories.

Set the target in the Explorer Shortcut to be

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /E, "myfavoritedirectorypathhere"

Right-click the Windows Explorer shortcut.
Click Properties
Replace %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe
with any of the following:
-----------------------------------------
"My Computer" in left side and C: in right side:

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e,/select,c:
-----------------------------------------
Desktop:

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e,/n,/select,/root,c:
-----------------------------------------
System drive expanded:

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e,/select
-----------------------------------------
System drive expanded:

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e,/select,%systemroot%
-----------------------------------------

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e,/root,%systemroot%
-----------------------------------------

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

My Computer in right side:

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /n,/e,/select,

-----------------------------------------
Desktop folder with "My Computer" highlighted:

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe %systemroot%,/select,
