Yep.
[[When you open Windows Explorer using the Windows Explorer shortcut on the
Start menu, the My Documents folder is selected by default.]]

You can also assign a shortcut key to that shortcut.
Right click the shortcut | Properties | Shortcut tab |
[[With the cursor in the Shortcut key box, select the keyboard key you
want to use in combination with CTRL+ALT. Shortcut keys automatically start
with CTRL+ALT. The Shortcut key box will display None until you select the
key and then the box will display Ctrl+Alt+the key you selected. You cannot
use the ESC, ENTER, TAB, SPACEBAR, PRINT SCREEN, SHIFT, or BACKSPACE keys.
Note
Once you assign a shortcut key combination for a specific program, you will
not be able to use that key combination with other programs.]]
I use Ctrl + Alt + E.
[[If a message MUST be posted to multiple groups, post a single message and
select all the groups (or type their names manually, separated by commas) in
which you want it to be seen. This is called Crossposting and when used
properly it is *GOOD*.
This question was posted individually to multiple groups.
This is called Multiposting and it's *BAD*.
Replies made in one group will not be visible in the other groups, which
may cause multiple people to respond to a question with the same answer
because they didn't know someone else had already done it.
This is a waste of time. ]]
With Outlook Express, which you're using...
To send your message to multiple newsgroups on the same news server, in the
New Message dialog box, click the icon next to Newsgroups. In the Pick
Newsgroups dialog box, click one or more newsgroups from the list (hold down
the CTRL key to select multiple newsgroups), and then click Add. You can
choose from all newsgroups or only those you subscribe to by clicking Show
only subscribed newsgroups.
You can send a given message to more than one newsgroup at a time only if
all the newsgroups are on the same news server. To post a message to
newsgroups on other news servers, create a separate message for each news
server.

Folks:
I am using Windows XP (Home).
Whenever I launch Windows Explorer, the default destination folder is "My
Documents."
* Is there some way to configure Windows Explorer to open in some
other folder of my choice ?
Thanks,
Jo.
