| Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit | Windows Explorer opening location... I found a tutorial that almost does what I want: Windows Explorer Default Opening but it doesn't include the option I am looking for. When I start Windows Explorer I want the folder pane to look like this: Desktop -myusername -Public <--- this one open on start -Computer -Network -Control Panel -Recycle Bin I know I can use "%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe c:\users\public" to access the same folder, but then the folder pane will look like this: Desktop -myusername -Public -Computer --C: ---Users ----Public <--- this one open on start -Network -Control Panel -Recycle Bin I don't really want to start with the whole directory tree open. I assume there is a registry key-like thing for this? It would have to be similar syntax to starting with 'Computer' open. Thanks |

| Vista Ultimate x64; Win 7 x64 and x32 | Dunno if this is what you want, but try: "%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe %public%" |

| Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit | Nope. Same effect as "%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe c:\users\public" above. This is why I'm thinking it has to be like opening to the Recycle Bin: "%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /N,::{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}" I just don't know how to figure out what hex code I need. |

| Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit | Re: Windows Explorer opening location... %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /N,::{4336a54d-038b-4685-ab02-99bb52d3fb8b} The above line does what I want. I found it in the registry under: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\FolderDescriptions\{DFDF76A2-C82A-4D63-906A-5644AC457385} the Parsing Name data holds the necessary hex stuff. |
