    Hi All,

    I asked this question way back but I have lost the answer. :(
    I know I need to change the registry settings but I want to open windows explore to just be at the root of C:
    Can someone refresh my grey matter (matches the colour of my hair) what I need to put in the registry please. :)

    Thanks

    Cheers

    This is not a registry edit but it works for me by editing the start-menu item properties for Windows Explorer as follows. (Right-click on the Windows Explorer start-menu item and select "Properties ".)

    Target: [FONT= "Courier New"][SIZE= "3"]%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e,C:\[/SIZE][/FONT]

    Start in: [FONT= "Courier New"][SIZE= "3"]%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%[/SIZE][/FONT]


    Can also create a shortcut for your Desktop/Quick Launch with those settings as well.
