How can I change the folder that is opened when starting Windows Explorer
through the (right mouse) context menu on the Start button? This defaults to
the user's Start Menu.
I guess this question must have been asked before, but I cannot find a
thread here...


Thanx in advance,

G'Day GJ,

The PURPOSE of 'Explore' on the Start button Context Menu is specifically
to EXPLORE the START MENU!

It is not a general 'opener' for Windows Explorer!
 
Hi Pat,

I know that this is a special way of using the Explorer. But there must be a
tweak to this behaviour...

When explorer is launched from the right-click menu, it will default to
the location of the icon that you right clicked on. I usually
right-click "My Computer" and explore, it expands My Computer and shows
all your drives and desktop items.

You could also create a desktop shortcut for explorer, and add the path
to the folder you want to open - i.e. if the shortcut is to
c:\windows\system32\explorer.exe "c:\program files" (using quotes
because of the space), that shortcut would launch explorer opening up
the contents of your program files folder.
