Hi MGM,
Use "explorer.exe /e," in Start/Run to open W.Explorer with My Computer selected in the left pane.
By default, Windows Explorer always opens with My Documents. Customize it by changing the properties for the Windows Explorer icon and replace the Target field with:
%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e, c:\yourfolder
1. Right click on the icon you use to launch Explorer and select Properties.
2. In the Target box, type (or replace the existing text with) the following:
%SystemRoot%\Explorer.exe /e, path
Where in place of path above you should enter the actual path to the directory you want open by default. For example C:\Windows, or C:\Documents and Settings, etc.
To have My Computer listed as the default selection, type explorer.exe /e,
Customize the Windows Explorer Views in Windows XP:

Whenever Windows explorer is opened, (win xp pro sp2) it opens the My
Documents folder expanded. I would like it to open only My computer
expanded instead. Is this possible?
Thanks
