there is a chance to tell explorer which folder open first?

Hi Marc,
This involves changing the properties of the Windows Explorer shortcut.
Right-click on the shortcut and select the shortcut tab. In this tab, edit
the target line to read as follows (note that the default target is
%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe):
%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /n, /root, c:\ /select, c:\[FOLDER] where
[FOLDER] is the path to the desired folder.

Basically, all you need do is modify the target field of your
Windows Explorer shortcut to point where you want it. In you case,
"%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e ,c:\" (without the quotes) should do the
trick. These KB Artivcles were written for earlier operating systems,
but this ability remains the same in Vista:

Hi, Marc.
In addition to the other suggestions...
I don't ALWAYS want to open Windows Explorer in E:\, but I want to open that
folder quite often. So I clicked Computer, then right-clicked on E: and
Create Shortcut. Then I dragged that shortcut from the Desktop to my Quick
Launch and clicked Move Here. Now I can open E:\ in Explorer with a single
click on that shortcut icon. ;<)
On my Desktop, I have several shortcut icons that open Explorer to different
folders, but my Desktop is usually hidden so it's nice to have the one that
I use most often always available in QL.
