Just curious. Maybe I'm missing something I should know about. Anyone else
know of a practical reason for this (withoug getting cranky about it)?
 
.....open at my hard drives as opposed to Desktop ?
There was a simple fix to use on XP, but that doesn't work here -
C:\WINDOWS\EXPLORER.EXE ,/n, /e, /select, c:\
Is there something similar to get the same end result on Vista ?

Try: C:\Windows\explorer.exe /n, /e, /select, c:\

note the missing , before /n

Pardon my ignorance, maybe there's a reason for this. But what's the purpose
of changing the Explorer default folder? Wouldn't it make more sense just to
click Start and choose Computer when you want to open your Computer folder?
Click Start and choose Documents (or some other folder) when you want to
open that folder? You end up in Explorer and the folder you want regardless.
 
Creating a shortcut to the desired drive/folder is usually identical in most
cases. Especially now in Vista where Open vs Explore as the default for a
folder changes dynamically with whether or not the Navigation pane was
displayed with the last folder closed.
