When I right click the Start Button and select “Explore,†Windows Explore
opens up with the Start Menu highlighted. Is there a way I can change this to
having the “C:\†permanently highlighted instead? My Folder tree is so long
that the Start menu is off the screen, causing me to have to scroll up to the
C:\ folder which I would rather have highlighted in the first place! Any help
would be greatly appreciated.
