I recently upgraded to XP and need to configure Windows Explorer so that the
default drive is H: when it starts. Under NT 4.0 I used the options
/e/root,H:\ in the
command line on my desk top shortcut. I tried this on my shortcut in XP but
I received and error message "The path...does not exist" when I tried to
launch Explorer. How do I configure Explorer to highlight the H: drive when
I launch it from the shortcut. (The value Target: on the Shortcut tab of
Windows Explorer
Properties reads: %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe).

Thanks,

Ned
