30239 2002-01-08 03:05:00 I have created a shortcut to open Windows Explorer, but I would like it to open with the left hand folder window list expanded, to save several clicks. (It always opens with 'My documents' open and I have to click My computer then drive C to get the first level folders). There has to be an easy way to make this work!
I am using Windows ME.

(Right clicking the MY Computer icon opens explorer expanded to 'a' drive, 'C' drive etc, which requires another click to expand to primary folders. This should also be able to be opened in expanded form I would think)

C:\WINDOWS\EXPLORER.EXE /n,/e,C:\

Copy and paste this to get it exact.

I knew there had to be an easy way to do it. Thanks a lot Susan.
