171618, Windows Explorer Question
Posted by _Chewy_, Mon Dec-09-02 10:45 PM
Running W2K here. Whenever i start up Windows Explorer, the default view is always "My Documents". I then have to click on the + sign next to "My Computer" select the partition i want and drill down to the directory where I have all my correspondence and such.

Does anyone know how to tweak MS Explorer go it will automatically go to a certain partition or directory?

I'll assume that Explorer under Win2k behaves like other Windows.

Make a new shortcut on the desktop and use the following as the target:

%SystemRoot%\Explorer.exe /e, C:\MyFolder

of course, correct C:\MyFolder to be the actual folder you want to get the focus.

Are you using Personalized Menus?
