    Hi Guys,

    Just need some info, but I guess this is for the experts amongst you.

    I wonder how one can change the path/folder/map in which Windows Explorer starts when you start it up.

    Right now it just starts in the \Documents and Settings folder, but it annoys me a lot, because I just want it to start in my C:\ root.

    Does anyone know where u can modify this?

    Thanks a lot,

    Nathan

    Right click on the shortcut you use to open Explorer. In the target field, type (or copy and paste from here) - %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /n,/e,c:\ - click OK.

    That will open Windows Explorer with the C drive selected and expanded.
