| | Re: Windows Explorer question What were you expecting? If you right click the Start Menu and click Explore, of course you will go to where the files on the Start Menu are located. If you want to create a link to the Desktop folder, go to Start and type shell:desktop in the search Bar and press Enter. This will take you to the default Desktop folder. Note the location of this folder in the Address Bar and create a shortcut to this location. You can place this shortcut in a handy location or simply pin it to the Start Menu. -- Ronnie Vernon Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience "jcmgn" <jcmgn@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:8DC0AFD7-C07B-4B89-B7B6-24E96B45DF8B@xxxxxx Quote: > When right click Start and then click explore, a window opens that shows > the > below path.
