Folder View win explorer

Hi,
I've seen a lot of posts around my issue, but nothing right on.
When I click on the desktop and create a new Shortcut for icon access to a
particular path, the window opens in single-pane view with neither the
search or the Folder buttons pressed. Clicking on Folder instantly presents
me with the double-pane folders view that I want.

How do I get the shortcut to open in the double-pane mode with the folder
tree on the left and the fodler's contents on the right?

The resulting display is the same, whether I use x:\, %systemroot%exp... ,
/e, /root, together or in combination. Yes, I know to watch the commas. I
do have the setting ticked for Remember Last View when the window closes.
What am I missing?

Regards,

Pop

so if you try this
C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe /e,root,C:\windows
does it work?

how about just
C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe /e

What you meant. You are so stupid you can't cope with a change in UI paradigms. Don't use compatability mode. I don't and haven't looked back for 5 years.

===> Almost. But that brings up a tree of ONLY C:\windows. Nothing above
that path, including other drives, folders not in/under that path, etc.. It
would be useful if all the work was in windows or below, but ... . Oh, and
I'm also specifically trying to do this on drives other than C, FWIW.
how about just
C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe /e
===> Didn't try; I need other drive specifiers, so that would only work on
C. I did try it with an added drive spec though, and still single-pane.

Back again, eh CandyAss? You still can't read, know that? And your social
skills seem to be even worse than before. Mommy has to get you more meds
again I'm afraid. I don't think you've looked anywhere that the sun don't
shine in a lot more than 5 years; you need to wash your face

Don't use explorer view. It's been almost 10 years since I've used it.
explorer /e,c:\windows

So perhaps you should f ck off moron and stop wasting people's time with your pathetic questions. If you are such a f cking moron who can't use a simple paridigm (and Macs only work this way) then stop using a computer. Perhaps morons like you need to set the default option to explore.

But jhust use your computer as you are far to stupid to customise it to run in compatability mode for morons.
