Hi,

When I launched my file explorer, My Documents was
highlighted and expanded.

I want to know if there is a way to auto highlight My
Computer and expand it instead of My Documents?

Thanks a lot.

Tim.

Click to expand...

What I like to see is my "C" drive with all my files expanded when I use
Windows Explorer. Just right click on the Windows Explorer icon and click on
"Properties". A box will come up and you want to click on the "Shortcut"
tab, then look for the "Target" box. If you copy and paste this line and
insert it in the target box, I think you will have what you want.
%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /n,/e,c:\ You can change the last letter ("c"
in this case ) if you use a different drive letter.
 
Jitterbug,

It works great.

Thanks.

Tim

Alternatively, you can use this as well using environment variables:
"%windir%\explorer.exe /e, %systemdrive%". Works better if you have a multiboot
system using the same shortcut to do the same thing without having to create
duplicate shortcuts for each system.
