| | default directory opening Windows Explorer I have my drive partitioned and save all data to Data Drive. when i open windows Explorer it defaults to C:\Username\documents which means i have to scroll and find the partitioned Data drive. Is there some way to change the default opening directory. I have checked for Options or tools and can't find anything that works -- thank you for your help |

| | Re: default directory opening Windows Explorer You could add a command line switch to the Explorer Shortcut (right click/properties/target) See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/130510 It sounds like the switch you want is /select,D:\ (or whatever drive letter you use) But a better way might be to just make a shortcut to that drive. When you click on the shortcut, it opens in Explorer. You can make a shortcut by Opening Computer and dragging the drive icon and dropping it on the Start button. If you click Organize on the Menu Bar in a Window, then select Layout/Navigation Pane, you can drag any Drive or Folder into the Navigation Pane and those shortcuts are available from any window.
