Solve : Annoying feature in MS?

Answer»

Whenever I open Windows Explorer in any version the first thing that opens up is "My Documents" That's not where I want to GO. Is there any way to disable this and automatically open the C: drive instead?By default, Windows Explorer always opens with My Documents. You can customize it by CHANGING the properties for the Windows Explorer icon and replace the Target field with: %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e, c:\yourfolder

  • Right CLICK on the icon you use to launch Explorer and select Properties.
  • In the Target box, type (or replace the existing text with) the following:
    %SystemRoot%\Explorer.exe /e, path



Where in place of path above you should enter the actual path to the directory you want open by default. For example C:\Windows, or C:\Documents and Settings, etc. To have My Computer listed as the default selection, type explorer.exe /e,
Thanks, but I can't get it to change. I must be doing something wrong.What do you mean?  It's not saving your settings?  Does it give you an error?

What are you TYPING in the box?I just added /c after the existing path and it opens to the C: drive on this computer using XP but on my LAPTOP with Vista, it just won't change anything. Edit: that should read e
