| 50242 | 2002-05-22 22:49:00 | Everytime I open explorer, it goes to startup in the expanded win directory, which means I have to close this ro scroll through it to see other directories. How can I make it open at the c:\ (or someother nominated position)? | Guest (0) | ||
| 50243 | 2002-05-22 23:55:00 | Bruce, You can modify the Explorer shortcut (or create a new one). In Win98/98SE/ME right mouse click on the Explorer icon in the Start | Programs and click properties. In the Target type or modify the line so that it looks similar to the following: C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe /n,/e, c:\ The C:\Windows is where EXPLORER.EXE 'normally' might reside for you. The /n means create a new explorer window, /e means expand the path specified as far as I can remember. You can change the final drive|directory path for whatever you want. Windows 2000/XP can also have the same mod but by default in XP the Explorer shortcut is in START | ALL PROGRAMS | ACCESSORIES menu |

| 50244 | 2002-05-22 23:59:00 | Bruce, As an update from my previous reply: From the Microsoft KB Q130510 Syntax EXPLORER.EXE [/n][/e][,/root,<object>][[,/select],<sub object>] Switches /n: Opens a new window in single-paned (My Computer) view for each item selected, even if the new window duplicates a window that is already open. /e: Uses Windows Explorer view. Windows Explorer view is most similar to File Manager in Windows version 3.x. Note that the default view is Open view. /root,<object>: Specifies the root level of the specified view. The default is to use the normal namespace root (the desktop). Whatever is specified is the root for the display. /select,<sub object>: Specifies the folder to receive the initial focus. If '/select' is used, the parent folder is opened and the specified object is selected. Examples To open a Windows Explorer view to explore only objects on \\<server name>, use the following syntax: explorer /e,/root,\\<server name> To view the C:\WINDOWS folder and select CALC.EXE, use the following syntax: explorer /select,c:\windows\calc.exe |
