I followed the instructions of the Microsoft knowledge
base and changed the view of the Explorer to focus on c:
but I cannot set the view to include the directory tree on
the left by default. It is very annoying. The line I have
changed is in the Properties of Explorer, under Target,
into

%SystemRoot%/Explorer.exe /root, C:/

Does anyone know the answer?
Many thanks,
Mike
 
Make a reg file named folderview.reg. Copy and paste the following:
---------copy below------------------------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell]
@="explore"
--------copy above-------------------------

Double click to merge and you'll have your default folder view instead of open
view.
 
%SystemRoot%/Explorer.exe /e,/root,C:\
%SystemRoot%/Explorer.exe /e,C:\

You may want to dump the root. Note your command was incorrect - it appeared
to work as it tried to find
c:/
but stops at c: when it can't find /. But C:\ is correct. Also no space are
used just commas.
