Create a shortcut with the following, without the quotes, as
the information in Type the location of the item:
"%windir%\explorer.exe /e". Name it Windows Explorer. This
should cause Explorer to open with the C drive expanded when
you double click on the shortcut. I place the shortcut in
the quick launch Toolbar and single click it to open
explorer with the C drive expanded.

Let us know if this solves your issue.

yar thanks it solved the problem. I wonder what caused this problem though

What you were seeing is, IIRC, the default for Windows XP,
in other words, everyone's computer does it opening Explorer
the way you were doing it. Never liked it but early on
found the fix to keep it from happening. Glad I could share
with you.

Hello,

Look for a AUTORUN.INF file in the root of the drive (not inside any
folder). You may need to enable hidden files and folders in Tools > Folder
Options.

If it is there, delete it and do a virus scan as this is not normal.
