Hi. Can anyone please tell me how I can change the
settings in Windows Explorer running under Windows XP, so
that I can choose which folder appears in the address bar
when it first opens. Thanks
 
Hi David,

By defaut, Windows Explorer always opening up with My Documents. Customize
it, by changing the properties for the Windows Explorer icon and replace the

Target field with: %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /n, /e, c:\yourfolder

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------

If you open Explorer from an icon, this tweak allows you to set which
directory it will display by default upon opening:

1. Right click on the icon you use to launch Explorer and select Properties.
2. In the Target box of Properties type (or replace the existing text with)
the following (without quotes):

"%SystemRoot%\Explorer.exe /e, path"

Where in place of path above you should enter the actual path to the
directory you want open by default. For example C:\Windows, or C:\Documents
and Settings, etc. The path also doesn't require quotes around it.
