Few things in Windows are more irritating than the
way that Explorer always opens in the same folder (C:\
for Windows 95/98, My Documents for Windows Me/2000/XP).
If you have an entry in your Start Menu to run Explorer,
you can change it to "Explore" at the folder of your choice:
Open Explorer, and go to your Start Menu
folder.
Find the shortcut for Explorer, right click
on it, and select Properties.
Click on the Shortcut tab, and change the
Target so it reads: c:\windows\EXPLORER.EXE
/n, /e, d:\myfolder (where c:\windows is your Windows
directory, and d:\myfolder is the directory in which
you want Explorer to start.)
Tip: To have Explorer start with My Computer,
so no branches are initially expanded, use the following
command line options: /n, /e, /select, c:\
Note: this won't work if you try to start Explorer
by right-clicking on the Start Menu (here's
why). Just put a shortcut to EXPLORER.EXE
in the top level of your Start Menu folder for
easy access.
