| Member | Re: Windows Explorer Default Opening Works just great on the shortcut it's applied to. Right-click on the start circle and the entry "explore" is visible. That doesn't appear to be a shortcut to which this procedure can be applied. Mine opens in an unuseful place "C:\Users\Bob\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu" How do I change that "explore" ? |

| Newbie | Re: Windows Explorer Default Opening Hi Brink, Thanks for you quick reply. Yes. I type as above & it's working now. The reason behind is I don't create a new shortcut again after I change target. This is where I get problem. The deafult shorcut at taskbar will never change setting no matter how I change target in Explorer Properties. rgds, Saw Lwin |

| Member | Re: Windows Explorer Default Opening I just can't seem to get this to work. I have followed all the steps. I want to set Windows Explorer to open to C:\A-My Files. I entered the string %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /n, /root, c:\My Files. But it still opens all the folders under c:\ and it still opens the "Users" folder. This seems to be such a basic preference selection that I'm surpirsed Microsoft makes it so hard to do. Thank you, Bruce I entered the string to have only |

| Administrator | Re: Windows Explorer Default Opening Hi BJanke, and welcome to Vista Forums. If the folder location is at C:\A-My Files, then you would need to use this instead for example B: %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /n, /root, C:\A-My Files Hope this helps, Shawn Last edited by Brink; 08-24-2008 at 10:36 PM..

| Member | It opens C:\ (which is okay if I can't get it to open at the subfolder A-My files), but the problem is that it ALSO opens the subfolder C:\Windows. |
