Making Windows Explorer open by default in "My Computer" mode. Additional question.

[Jumbo]

Hello fellow NG members

Yesterday I asked for help in changing the default opening of Windows
Explorer in the "My Computer" mode and received excellent advice fro another
NG contributor which makes it open with the C:/ drive highlighted. using the
setting below.

On the Explorer properties click on Shortcut Tab and make these changes:

Target: [ %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e, C:\ ]

Start in: [ %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH% ]

I know that most XP systems are set to open in "My Documents" but although
it is only a minor issue I would like to make the change to "My Computer" as
the default.

Not a major issue just the curiosity of an aging brain.

Hitting the Windows + E keys at the same time will launch
Windows Explorer opened at My Computer. Note; The Windows key
is located between Ctrl and Alt on the left side of your
keyboard.

Good luck
