365148 2005-06-19 01:22:00 Call me old fashioned but I prefer the Windows Explorer view. But having upgraded to XP I can't tailor it to my satisfaction.
It starts with Desktop>MyDocuments, opened....and nothing I do keeps it closed.
Ideally I'd like the tree to start with MyComputer but is that possible? And since nobody else uses my computer why am I apparently stuck with SharedDocuments. I could go on but having tried MS KB and Googling I've failed to find a solution.
Any else frustrated by this or, better still, solved it?

You need never click that My Computer icon again! Simply hit [WINDOWS KEY] + [E] at the same time!

And, if you call now, you'll get a free fortune cookie :)
