Windows Explorer question

aaltenburg · 02-26-2008

Under Windows XP, you could use a command line parameter to have Windows Explorer open to a specific location. For example, if you right-click the Windows Explorer icon and select "Properties," you could change the Target from %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe to %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e,c:\ to force Explorer to open at the root of your c: drive. Is there any way to do something like this under Vista?

Never mind - I found it in a tutorial named "How to Change Windows Explorer Default Open Location in Vista" published by Brink in 06-17-2007. This site (Vistax64.com) is a great resource.
