| | Re: Folder Expansion in Window's Explorer on Openning in Vista Unfortunately, no. Explorer still opens with my C drive expanded and other areas not. I do not want my C drive expanded when Explorer opens. To the best of my knowledge, this has always been a problem with previous versions of Windows. There are third party softwares that allows you to control this. I just haven't looked for any for Vista and was hoping Microsoft gave control over this very annoying feature in Vista finally. -- cryocynique "BobF." wrote: Quote: > How about this: > Start > Control Panel > Folder Options > View > check - "Restore previous > folder windows at logon" > > That do it? > > -- > Regards, BobF. > "cryocynique" <cryocynique@xxxxxx> wrote in message > news:0592278F-0031-45FC-8967-BDD5C1CAD7C2@xxxxxx Quote: > > Is there a way to set which folders are expanded and which ones are not > > when > > Window's Explorer is openned in Vista? > > > > Thanks! > > -- > > cryocynique > |

| | Re: Folder Expansion in Window's Explorer on Openning in Vista Cryocynique If you right click the icon that you use to open Windows Explorer, you can enter the path to the folder that you want to open in the Target line.. If you simply want Explorer to open with Computer selected and all of the drives showing, but not expanded, place the following in the Target Line of the shortcut. %systemroot%\explorer.exe /e, (Be sure to include the spaces and comma) If you want Explorer to open with your user account folder selected, enter the following path. C:\Users\your name Or the path to any other folder you want selected when Explorer opens. -- Ronnie Vernon Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience "cryocynique" <cryocynique@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:6306EA77-C641-439B-965A-A5EABA8E953A@xxxxxx Quote: > Unfortunately, no.
