How can I open my Windows Explorer to a previously set expanded directory
that I create?
Thanks in advance, Fran

Hi Fran,

Create a shortcut to Explorer (located in C:\Windows\explorer.exe

Right click on the shortcut, clcik 'Properties', and edit the Target
field. For example:

%systemroot%\explorer.exe /e,/n,C:
There is a space after 'explorer.exe'.

This would open Explorer in a double pane with C: highlighted and
expanded. For C:, substitute the path you want.

The meaning of the command line switches are as follows:
/n - Always open a new window (even if the specified folder is already
open).
/e - Use Windows Explorer view.
The default (with no switch) is Open view.
