Explorer Default Open Status

[tclanglet]

In Windows Me, I could specify which folder I wanted to
be opened when Explorer was started. How do I do this in
XP?

Same as Me. Right click the Windows Explorer shortcut and select Properties,
in the Target Line, enter the path to the folder like this:

%systemroot%\\explorer.exe /e, <path to folder>

If you wanted to start in the C:\My Folder\This One, it would look like
this:

%systemroot%\\explorer.exe /e, C:\My Folder\This One

Thanks so very much for the time response. I believe
that I had another way of doing it in Me, but I lost the
instructions. You directions worked wonderfully for XP.
