| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: Windows Explorer Default Opening My mistake BJanke. It should be: %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /n, /root, C:\A-My Files (I left out the comma after /root)  |

| vista home basic 32bit | Re: Windows Explorer Default Opening Sorry to be such a pain. It's opening c:\ but is also opening the Users subfolder.

| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: Windows Explorer Default Opening LOL, no problem. How about this: %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /n, /select, C:\A-My Files |

| vista home basic 32bit | Re: Windows Explorer Default Opening The problem seems not to be getting C:\ to open, it's stopping the Users subfile from opening too. |

| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: Windows Explorer Default Opening I cannot stop it from having the A-My Files open, but see if this is closer to what you are wanting. %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /n, /root, c:\ /select, C:\A-My Files |

| vista home basic 32bit | Re: Windows Explorer Default Opening Well, it's still opening C:\ and not A-My Files and is still opening the User file. But at this point I'm going to have to just live with it. It's mostly just an annoyance because it seems that Microsoft ought to make this so much simpler--I would think that this would be a very common preference choice for users and that it ought to be just part of the "View" drop down menu. Thanks for all your efforts, Bruce |

| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: Windows Explorer Default Opening Your welcome Bruce. You might just create a shortcut to the C:\A-My Files instead. You can then Pin that folder shortcut to the Start menu, or move it to where you like, for easy use. Start Menu - Pin Folder To |

| Home Premium 64 bit | Re: Windows Explorer Default Opening The one thing that I have learned is that for your explorer to open correctly, you must open it from where you set the target. Another words if you have a short-cut to explorer on your desktop and set it the way you want to open it, you need to start it from your desktop. It you go thru start, programs, etc it will not open the way you want it to, unless you set it the same way. rapom426 |
