filing cabinet display

[Guest]

Hello everyone, I use a shortcut to open up 'filing cabinet' to see all my
folders. It automatically opens up the window and it goes to the "My
Documents" folder and expands it fully. Below this expansion is "My
Computer" and a couple other folders not expanded.
What I want it to do when the window opens up is instead of the "My
Documents" being expanded down - I wish to have the "Local Disk (C" folder
to be expanded down (fully expanded - shows all folders on C: but not
subfolders). I have tried creating shortcuts from everywhere I can trying to
make this condition happen but no luck.
Thank you in advance for anyone who may be able to advise me.

Shortcut target: C:\

Does that work?

Thank you very much! Changing my shortcut path to: C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe
/e,C:\ did the trick.

Thank you for replying to my post. Yes I tried your suggestion prior to me
seeking help. I could not get it to work. But another person directed me to
a site with some suggestions and one of them worked. The one that worked for
me was to change my shortcut's path to: C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe /e,C:\ and
that did the trick. Thank you for your time JD.
