\explorer.exe /e, starts with My Computer expanded. That is, all of
the hard drives, CD, Control Panel, Shared Documents and <my name's>
Documents are listed. (Not expanded, but in the list.) Is there an
option or command that would not have ANY items in the list expanded?
The list shown at WinExplorer startup would show lines for: Desktop,
My Documents, My Computer, My Network Places and Recycle Bin, and with
no expansion of any of these main items. And I want the two panel view
that the /e command gives.
Thanks and regards, jimbo
No. Something will always be expanded with the 2 pane view (press left
arrow key to collapse and go from there?). My Computer is as high as you
can get in the heirarchy. I take that back, even if you adjusted to the
"Desktop" at the very top - you would still have desktop expanded.
Other suggestions:
--You could just use My Computer. Single pane view. Select what you want
with a double click. Then click the Folders button in the toolbar to invoke
the 2 pane view.
--Take a look at the "Desktop" toolbar. Right click the taskbar and select
Toolbars> Desktop. Adjust size the toolbar to a small size so that it shows
"Desktop" and a chevron to access the toolbar items. Even if not displayed
on the desktop, you will get flyout menus for My Documents, My Computer,
Network Places and others.
It looks like we can get you "close" to what you want but that's about it.
Hope that you find a customization that you like.
