Accessing Win Explorer

[Dehlia]

Would someone tell me a few swift ways I can access Windows Explorer
in XP (or point me to a site with instructions)?

My previous computer had a *start* key at the bottom which I used to
press together with *E* - that was a quick way of opening up Explorer.
This old machine hasn't got the start key and the only way I can see
of opening win explorer is to go to Start-All Programs-Accessories
etc. - too long winded.

Thanks for any advice.

You could buy a new keyboard with WIN keys and connect it to this
computer. Or right-click the Explorer shortcut and assign a hotkey
combination (like CTRL-ALT-E) to this shortcut.

Hi Dehlia,
You can create a shortcut to explorer and put it on the desktop. Here are
some command lien options for explorer which you can use with the shortcut:
