Can someone please help a certified fossil? Just bought a new machine
running XP Home and can't figure out how to change the default folder
that opens when you start windows explorer. It's set for "My Documents"
and I'd like to change it to either "My computer" or just the "C" drive.

TIA,

Ed

Basically, all you need do is modify the target field of your
Windows Explorer shortcut to point where you want it. In you case,
"%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e ,c:\" (without the quotes) would do the
trick.
