Windows Explorer Default Directory

[Mehr H]

How can you change the default directory of windows explorer..? I'm on
Windows XP
Right now when i right click on start and go to Explore it always opens on
C:\Documents and Settings\Mehrh\Start Menu
but i want it to open on a different directory...

Thanks!

Start is a folder. Right clicking a folder and choosing Explore does exactly
what it says. Use the shortcut on the start menu.

Here's an example which opens Explorer in my D Drive. You can change it to
suit your needs.
%windir%\explorer.exe /e, d: The /e is to have it expand the directory. Put
your desired path in place of d:
