When I open Windows Explorer everything is collapsed except My Documents. I
would like My Documents to be closed and My Computer and Drive D to be open.
Could someone provide the necessary language for the shortcut? Thanks very
much.
 
Bob,
By default, Windows Explorer always opening up with My Documents. Customize
it, by changing the properties for the Windows Explorer icon and replace the

Target field with: %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /n, /e, c:\yourfolder

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you open Explorer from an icon, this tweak allows you to set which
directory it will display by default upon opening:

1. Right click on the icon you use to launch Explorer and select Properties.

2. In the Target box of Properties type (or replace the existing text with)
the following (without quotes):

"%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. The path also doesn't require quotes around it.
