Colleagues,

Since I seldom, if ever, open Windows Explorer to do
anything but work on the folders and files in my C:\
drive, how do I get Windows Explorer to defalut to C:\?

Any help would be appreciated. Please Cc my email
account.

Thanks.
 
Place a shortcut on your desktop. Enter Windows Explorer. Place cursor on C drive and select File, Local Disk, Create Shortcut and Yes to Desktop. Right click Shortcut on Desktop and Rename.
