| 373257 | 2005-07-18 14:53:00 | I have read the helpful article that shows how to change the setting when opening Windows Explorer: forums.pcworld.co.nz But the way I open Explorer is by right-clicking on start -> Explorer. Opening it this way still takes me to my documents and settings while if I try to open it via going to start-> programs -> accessories -> windows explorer takes me to where I set it. By right clicking on start is the way I've been opening explorer for years :( Does anybody know how to change the setting of windows explorere if it is being fired from the start button? FYI: I am using windows server 2003 Thank you. |

| 373260 | 2005-07-19 19:28:00 | This command will let you open Windows Explorer and expand the drive and directory of your choice. C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe /n,/e, <drive>:\<Directory> You should be able to run it from a desktop icon or an icon loaded on the start menu. |

You may be able to with a registry tweak but I do not know of one. I have recently been trying to change the properties of the My Computer shortcut on the desktop without any success but I haven't Googled for a possible solution yet. Does the solution provided by Susan B in your link not suit your purposes? A shortcut on the Quick Launch bar or on your desktop would open Explorer where you want it. |
