explorer shortcut

[Wentworth]

My husband has created a shortcut on his desktop to the windows explorer.
When it opens up, it is open to the "My Documents" area. He wants it to open
up to a specific folder in the C drive. Is there any way to create the
shortcut to take him right to it?
Thanks in Advance.

For example, suppose that you want Windows Explorer to automatically open a
folder called Downloads, which is located in the root directory of drive D.
Follow these steps:

1. Right-click the desktop and select New | Shortcut.

2. When the Create Shortcut wizard appears, click the Browse button.

3. Locate the Windows folder, select Explorer.exe, and click OK.

4. Position your cursor at the end of the command line, press [Spacebar],
and type the parameters /e, d:\Downloads.

5. Click Next, give the shortcut a name, and select Finish.



If you want to limit Windows Explorer to a specific folder or subfolder, use
the parameters /e, /root, d:\Downloads.
