Dear people

I have went thru and tried many settings in the options, but I still cannot
figure out how to open Window Explorer with the default directory being"My
Document". It always open at "C" drive. I always need to click back to "my
Doc" cos that's where all my useful stuff is. Can anyone help pls?
I am using WinXP Home.


Best regards
Tones

Tones,

In WinXP Home / Windows Explorer, select 'View Menu' then select 'Goto' then
select 'My Documents'
and that should do the trick for you.

Dear Kenny

Thanks for your advise also.
From your reply, I assume that I should enter "%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe" in
the RUN command in the START menu.
After I have run this, it really does open Win Explorer at My Docs.
But after I close WinExpr and re-open it by selecting from the START menu,
it re-starts at "C:" drive again.
I think we are getting warmer though. I believe it can be set somewhere in
the registry, but of course I wouldn't know, cos I'm not an expert in any
way.

I remember in older windows OS (95 or 9, you could "save" at which
directory you would like to open WinExpr at.



Best regards
Tones

You can simply change your shortcut from explorer.exe to explorer.exe c:\my
folder, as in, put the path you want it to open at after the command.

You might have a look at:

http://www.xteq.com/downloads/#exlp

for Explorer LaunchPad. (free) It lets you launch Explorer to
any folder you wish.

Do a Google search for...

explorer.exe /n /e

You'll find plenty of examples.

Good luck.


Have a nice week...

Dear DeMoN LaG

Thanks. You are a star. You have fixed my problem!!
I looked everywhere in the options and settings inside Win Explorer, and
never thought the cause was something so simple.
Thanks again.
