Hi, I am sure there is a simple answer to this question. Every time I open
Windows Explorer with the WINDOWS+E keys, it always open in the "My
Computer" folder. How can I have it open in my C:\ directory?

Thanks,
Dan
 
The simple answer is don't use win-E. Create a shortcut to explorer with the
arguments to open in c:directory, then assign your own shortcut key combo to
that shortcut. It would sure beat hacking around in the registry, and could
even be created programmatically from a script.

Click Start >> All Programs >> Accessories >>Right click Windows Explorer
and select Properties.
On there Click on ShortCut Tab and make this changes:

Target :[ %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e,C:\

Windows Explorer Command-Line Options"

OK, that worked. Although I had to create a short cut on my desktop for
Windows Explorer.. The WINDOWS+E always brings me to My Computer. And I was
using the Windows Classic Menu, so I had to turn on the regular Windows XP
menu to set up everthing.

Thanks,
Dan
