Windows explorer start directory

[Bob]

When I open Windows explorer, it opens to "My Documents" which I never
even use. Is there any way to make it start in "My computer" or better
still C:\ drive?
What would be ideal is if it would open to the last directory you were
using like the old Norton file manager. Thanks.

Go to Start\Programs\Accessories
Right-click windows explorer and select Properties
In the target box type %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e,c:\
to open explorer with C:\ expanded
For single pane viewing:
%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /root,c:\
To choose a specific location, say program files:
%systemroot%\explorer.exe /e,c:\Program Files

Eddy
