Windows explorer.

[Geoff Stewart]

I've asked these two questions before but lost the answers, soorry in
advance.

1, How do I get the Status bar to automatically display when I open
explorer? I know how to display it but I want it to be open from the start.

2, What is the command line switch to have explorer open at the root of the
c: drive?

Hi Geoff,

1. Setup WinExplorer in your choice of views, click tools/folder =
options/view tab and click "apply to all folders". Or try cloing it =
using ctrl+file/close

2. %systemroot%\explorer.exe /e,C:

--=20

Explorer view. The two paned style of displaying files and folders: tree on
left with the contents of selected item shown on right. Without the /e
Explorer will open using Folder view.
