Windows Explorer is stuck at Windows Folder on starting up

Hi everyone,

My Explorer always stays at the Windows folder whenever I open it.
Is there a way to specify another folder as default?

Windows Explorer is stuck at Windows Folder on starting up

Hi Ben....

Yes there is. I always found the default annoying, too, but got the answer
years ago off Windows Annoyances. If you want to open Windows Explorer on a
certain drive or folder go to your Windows Explorer button, right click and
open Properties. In Target type C:\Windows\Explorer.exe /n, /e, C:

The "C:" is the variable. If you want to open in your D Drive then you would
replace the last C: with D:. If you want a specific folder then replace the
C: with the path to that specific folder.

Hope this helps.

David
