Desktop Shortcuts

[Craig]

Is it possible to create a desktop shortcut to open windows explorer that
defaults to display a particular folder. It currently default to "My
Documents" and I want to leave that one and create another shortcut.

Thanks
Craig

how about just making a shortcut to that folder?

You can create a shortcut where the location looks like this:

explorer.exe /e,C:\Program Files
explorer.exe /c,D:\

the /e makes explorer open with the folder pane visible, and the /c
without.

Hi Craig,

I think a simpler solution might be to just navigate to the folder in
question, rightclick it and select "Send To" then "Desktop (create
shortcut)".

Hopefully this is what you're trying to do.
