Hi,
When I right-click "my computer", then explore, the explorer window is blank in the left pane, it does show normal in the right pane. I suspect this started following the install of an "update patch" for Windows XP Pro recently.
Any thoughts?
Right click Windows Explorer/Properties and type this into the Target
path:
To have C: open (No folders)
%SystemRoot%\Explorer.exe /root, C:\
To have C: open expanded: %windir%\EXPLORER.EXE /e,c:
To have C: open and My Documents:
%windir%\EXPLORER.EXE /e,c:,%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%\My Documents
To have another Drive letter assigned to opening: D for example:
C:\Windows\Explorer.exe /e, d:\
d:\ can be modified for any folder/sub-folder you like. As in:
%SystemRoot%\Explorer.exe /e,d:\My Stuff
The /e switch tells Windows Explorer to open in the two pane explorer
mode and the c:\ tells it to open in folder C:\. If you omit the /e
switch, Windows Explorer opens in a single pane view.
I guess your shortcut has the /e switch omitted, try right-cliking it,
choosing properties and adding it in the target line.
HOW TO: Have Windows Explorer Default to the %SystemRoot% Drive When
Started

Good luck
