In XP when I created a shortcut for Windows Explorer on the Desktop I would
edit the target line in Properties. I like it when I click on the short cut
that it opens to the C: drive.

To do that I would at the end of the target type a space and then a forward
slash followed by the letter "e".

I tried doing this in Vista but it don't work. Does anyone know of a way to
make it open to my C: drive ?

Thank You,
Ed.
 
Thank you very much. I tried that and it worked.

Thanks again for the reply and the info and much appreciated.

You may find it better to do this:
"%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe " /e, /n c:

Then of course, you can make the "c:" be anything you want. For instances,
if you always want to go to a folder named MyData... it would look like
this:
"%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe " /e, /n c:\MyData or
"%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe " /e, /n c:\MyDocuments\MyData

Experiment with the /n and see if you like it better.
 
Don't for get the comma in between:
"%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe " /e, /n, c:\MyData or
"%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe " /e, /n, c:\MyDocuments\MyData

Sorry about that.
