Windows XP desktop shortcut question

My simple question...
I'm running Windows XP.
I created a shortcut on my desktop to allow me quick
access to my second disk drive (D:) where I store my data.
In the "Properties" for this shortcut the "target" is D:\
When I click on it I immediately go to that hard drive but
then always have to hit the "Folders" icon in the menu
bar. Is there something I can add to the "Target" line of
the D:\ shortcut that will make it open up with the
folders option already selected so I don't have to click
on that icon?
Thank you,
Ken Melton
 
Hi Ken,

Use the explorer.exe command line parameters instead:

"explorer /e, d:"
