Windows Explorer Folders viewing options

[Guest]

Currently when I open Windows Explorer via either the My Computer or My
Documents desktop icons it shows three expandable menus on the left hand side
with various options in them, the menus are labelled File and Folder Tasks,
Other Places and Details.

Instead I want to be able to see all the folders on the PC. I can do this
manually be selecting in Windows Explorer View/Explorer Bar/Folders but I
cannot get this to be my default setting when I select Tools/Folder
Options/View/FolderViews/Apply to All Folders. Is there a way to set this
view up is it's inconvienient to do it everytime I use Windows Explorer?

Thanks.

Create an icon with path
c:\windows\system32\explorer.exe /n,/e,c:
(note there's a space between 'exe' and '/n')
