Windows Explorer Defaults WIN-XP

[stevieb]

I am just wondering when i use windows explorer it always opens in my documents.

is there anyway that i can default this to say a z: drive??? I have tried the Start in section of the shortcut options but can i change this in the registry anywhere?

Thanks
Steve

No idea if you can change it but I tend to have shortcuts on my desktop for each drive on my system anyway so rarely open "explorer" directly.

I do know, but for some reason it won't let me reply with the command line to run.

Change the windows explorer shortcut to the third example listed here

edit one last attempt: %SystemRoot%explorer.exe /e,c:
Add the backslashes in the correct places

Just right-click on My Documents, select properties and change the target
