Is there away to have Win Explorer always come up in a particular
configuration ?

With all the drives not expanded ?

My default configuration always has c: expanded out and I only have system
files there so I hardly ever need to go there

Thanks

If you want to change the default display of Windows Explorer
to My Computer, right click the shortcut and change the entry
in the target box to the following:

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe
/e,::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}

Right click the shortcut that you use to open Windows Explorer and select
Properties. In the Target Line, place the following text.

%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e,

(Note the space and the Comma)

Click Apply/OK.
