Explorer look

When I start Explorer it shows various sub-folders for some folders but not
for all them though, i.e. all the folders under "Microsoft" for example, and
I cannot figure out how to change that so that it only shows the folders
under "Local Disk (C. I have tried just about everything but to no avail.
When I first open Explorer it always highlights "Start Menu" with its
sub-folders. I have read numerous posts and messages but couldn't find the
answer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated if I can get rid of this minor
annoyance.
Thanks a lot.

Re: Explorer look

Create a shortcut on your desktop to (C. Then for convenience you can drag
the shortcut to the taskbar.

Re: Explorer look

Thanks but there has to be an easier way to make Explorer "behave" the way
the user wants when it first opens up.

Re: Explorer look

What is so difficult about creating a shortcut? You only need to do it once.

Easier then dragging a folder to the desktop?

Re: Explorer look


The OP said, "I have tried just about EVERYTHING but to no avail"

Then he's shown a simple way to do it and he wants an easier way. Go figure.

Re: Explorer look

Thanks guys; I did create the shortcut which works fine but I thought that
there might be another way to do this which was more "natural" so to speak!.
No worries.......
