| Vista Ultimate 32 bit and 64 bit | Re: Changing opening of default Thats the correct solution but wrong text. That wont change anything: The switch (after the "/" should be e, D: (There should be a space between the e, and the D  You can insert any path you like at the end, or even make several shortcuts to different folders and place them on the desktop. |

The Explore for the right click (context menu) for the Start button is meant to open to the Start menu's All Programs shortcut area. I do not know how to change the path for it, but this tutorial will show you how you can add another option to the Start menu's context menu that you can have open anywhere you like.
