I remember back on my old computer, whenever I opened up Windows Explorer, it would open up to My Documents... thats the way I want it. Right now though it's opening up to the root of my C drive. Are there any ways that I can make it so that when I open Windows Explorer, it will automatically open up to My Documents?
 
Windows XP explorer switches
Switch Result
/n Opens a new single-pane Window for the default selection.
This is usually the root of the drive on which Windows is installed.
/e Starts Windows Explorer using its default view.
/e, <object> Starts Windows Explorer using its default view with the focus on the specified folder.
/root, <object> Opens a window view of the specified object.
/select, <object> Opens a window view with the specified folder, file or
program selected.

Hope this helps
 
Right click WE icon, then properties, then shortcut, then in the Target field: %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e, c:\Net

Of course change the C:\Net to whatever dir you want it to open to.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
