I'm creating a windows explorer shortcut to add to the quick launch that
opens
to the C: drive instead of my documents. There is a command that you can add
that will do this.
Anybody have the trick??
Thx

Tyler,

As Will said. In addition:

By default, Windows Explorer always opens with My Documents. Customize it by changing the properties for the Windows Explorer icon and replace the Target field with:

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e, c:\yourfolder

1. Right click on the icon you use to launch Explorer and select Properties.
2. 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. The path also doesn't require quotes around it. To have My Computer listed as the default selection, type explorer.exe /e,

Have Windows Explorer Default to the %SystemRoot% Drive When Started:
