Windows Explorer shortcut

[Scott-az]

Hi, I have a desktop shortcut for Windows Explorer that opens in the "My
Documents" directory. I want it to open displaying the desktop and C:
drives, similar to the window that opens if I press the Windows key + E. How
do I change the shortcut properties, start in setting? It is currently set
to "%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%"

Thanks

First create a shortcut of explorer on your desktop
Then right click and select Properties, select the Shortcut tab
Enter one of the sample options show below in the Target field, click Apply
then the OK button.
C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe /n, C:\
C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe /e, C:\
C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe /n, C:\FolderName
