Windows Explorer

I have w2K. When I click on windows explorer it automatically sends me to the My Documents directory. Is there a way to change this so that it automatically sends me to the directory of my choice?

Command-Line Switches for Windows Explorer

New

HOW TO: Customize the Windows Explorer Views in Windows XP

http://support.microsoft.com/default...307856&sd=tech

Examples

The following examples describe the use of Windows Explorer switches.

Explorer /n
This command opens an Explorer window using the default setting. This is usually the root of the drive on which Windows is installed.

Explorer /e
This command starts Windows Explorer using the default view.

Explorer /e,C:\Windows
This command starts Windows Explorer using the default view, with the focus on C:\Windows.

Explorer /root, C:\Windows\Cursors
This command starts Windows Explorer at the C:\Windows\Cursors folder. This example uses C:\Windows\Cursors as the "root" directory for Windows Explorer.

NOTE: Note the comma after the "/root" switch in the command.
Explorer /select, C:\Windows\Cursors\banana.ani
This command starts Windows Explorer with the "C:\Windows\Cursors\banana.ani" file selected.

NOTE: Note the comma after the "/select" switch in the command.
The Windows Explorer switches can be combined in a single command. The following example shows the combination of the Windows Explorer command-line switches.
Explorer /root, \\server\share, select, Program.exe
This command starts Windows Explorer using the remote share as its "root" folder, along with the Program.exe file selected.
