Hello,

I have my XP Professional set up so that in Windows Explorer
everything opens in folder view. But when I put a shortcut to a file
on the desktop and click on it, it doesn't open in folder view. Is
there a way to correct this?

Thank you.

Norman,

Where is the shortcut pointing to and what are the parameters assigned?

Open folders in Windows Explorer mode by default (i.e. with folder pane
enabled):
