Default Explorer View from Start Button

I know how to change the default view for Windows Explorer using the /root
switch when there is a shortcut, however how do you change the default view
if you right click over the Start button, and access explorer from there? It
still opens up several layers down in an obscure Windows directory. Is there
any way to control how that view opens?

Re: Default Explorer View from Start Button

Hi Rich,

That's because when you right click over the start button you are telling
Windows Explorer to open at that point (the programs menu).
