How to open My Docs in Folder view

[Guest]

When I open up My Docs it opens up with a left panel that says "File and
Folder Tasks" and "Other Places".

I always use My Docs in Folder View, so I click the folder icon every time.

How can I set it up so that when I open My Docs it OPENS in Folder View so I
dont' have to click the fodlers icon everytime?

I usually right click on the "My Documents" icon and click "Explore" on
the resulting context menu.

It should remember that folder view and open as you last closed it.
Since it isn't being remembered, try these:

Create a shortcut to My Documents -
explorer.exe /e,::{450d8fba-ad25-11d0-98a8-0800361b1103}



Good Luck, Ayush.
