[Garbiologist]

When I open Windows Explorer the default view is always my documents. How do
I change the view to my computer instead.
Thanks

Change the Windows explorer parameter to "explorer /e,"
Or, type the above in RUN box.

Set Windows Explorer's default startup folder

Create a new shortcut to EXPLORER.EXE and set it up with the help of
this text: "Explorer.exe Command-Line Options for Windows XP"
(http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=314853).
