I'd appreciate it if anyone could tell me how to do this (or if it can be
done). I'd like to add a line command to the WIndows Explorer shortcut
(presumably in the "Target" box) (or the My Computer icon on my Desktop?) so
that when Win Explorer opens I have this view:
In left pane: Desktop icon, followed by My Documents folder (expanded or
not; don't care), followed by the My Computer icon (expanded to show the
various logic drives). It doesn't matter what is in the right pane, but I
would like the right pane to exist.

I can get this view by clicking on the My Computer Icon and then clikcking
on the "Folders" icon in the toolbar. I can also get this view by clicking on
Win Explorer icon and then clicking on the "+" next to My Computer.

I tried the various line commands in the Knowledge Base article for Win
Explorer line commands and couldn't get there.

thanks for any help.

If you select something under My Computer then that should give you what you
want. Ex:

explorer.exe /e,/select,c:
