View Full Version : Expanding MyComputer
This is a trivial customization, but is it possible to automatically
expand 'MyComputer' in the folders pane in Windows Explorer.
Like it does by default in W98. Also, I *don't* want MyDocuments
to expand in the same way.
TIA

Explorer shortcut:
%systemroot%\EXPLORER.EXE /e,
If you want the C: drive expanded
%systemroot%\EXPLORER.EXE /e,c:
