Set Win Explorer to show My Computer expanded?

[Joe]

When I open Windows Explorer it has My Documents expanded.
Can I set it to have My Computer expanded instead, so as to show my drives
on opening?

Yes, you have to modify the shortcut properties of Explorer.Exe.
An example would be:
C:\Windows\Explorer.Exe /N, /E,

Right click the shortcut you use to launch Windows Explorer.
Click on the Shortcut tab.
Enter the following in the Target box.

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e,

Click OK.

Excellent Nepatsfan,

Can I have it so it doesn't expand E?

Thank you everyone..
