I know there are options in how the initial directorys are displayed
when you intially open Explorer. I thought it was appending "/e" to the
end of taget command but I'm not getting the display i want. I have gone
to the MS Knowledge base and cant' find anything there.

So any help or direction would be helpful and if there is a KB file that
covers this stuff a link would be greatly appreciated.

When I open Explorer I don't want any directory or drive file structure
open just all the drives and system folds, their names and thats it -
All I want to see is for example

MyDocs
MyComputer
- Local Disk (C:) ( with what ever the drive is named)
- New Disk (d:)
- DVD-RAM (E:)
- DVD-RAM (F:)
etc
etc

Creating a shortcut for Windows Explorer using the following command will open
it to My Computer.

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e,

Note: You need to include the trailing comma.

Good luck
