windows explorer default folder change?

[EPPack]

Windows explorer by default opens in My Documents, but I know this can be
changed to some other folder--I did it when I got my previous machine (win
xp pro sp1). It's been a LONG time now, tho, and I have yet another new
machine (win xp pro sp2), but can't remember how to change this

Can anyone help?

TIA

Hi

Go to Programs>Accessories, right click on the Windows Explorer icon, select
Properties and type or copy/paste the following into the 'Target:' box to
open WE with the C drive expanded:

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e,c:

A new Desktop shortcut for WE can be created with the same command(s).

Also have a look at the following article:

"Windows Explorer Command-Line Options"
