Windows Explorer

Hi, I'm new to the group.

When I click on Windows Explorer it always opens up to my
documents folder.

Is there a way when I click on Windows Explorer it will
open up to my computer c:\Manuals folder?

Thanks Doug,

I can now click on Windows Explorer and it will open to
the folder of my choosing. But, I don't have the Folder
list on the left side of the screen (Explorer Bar).

I did go to View/Explorer Bar/Folder and the Folder list
will now appear, but once I close Windows Explorer down
and reopen Windows Explorer the Folder List is gone and I
have to go back to View/Explorer Bar/Folder and then I
will get my Folder list back.

Is there a way to keep the folder list on the left side
with out going back to View/Explorer Bar/Folder to get
the folder list back?

Thanks again for your help!
Mud

Don't use the /n switch

Example: explorer.exe /e,C:\MyFolder
