Windows Explorer Customisation

[elusiverunner]

I have a question I would like to ask regarding Windows Explorer. When I
click on the Windows Explorer Icon the windows displays an expaned display of
items in My Documents. Is there a way I can get it to display an expanded My
Computer ???

This advice was given to me by Ramesh, MVP, and it worked!
Further, it is possible to keep on your desktop several Windows Explorer
shortcuts, each one customised to a different preference:

"By default, Windows Explorer always opens with My Documents. Customize it
by
changing the properties for the Windows Explorer icon and replace the Target
field with: %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /e, c:\yourfolder

1. Right click on the icon you use to launch Explorer and select Properties.
2. In the Target box, type:
%SystemRoot%\Explorer.exe /e, path

Where in place of path above you should enter the actual path to the
directory you want open by default. For example C:\Windows, or C:\Documents
and Settings, etc. To have My Computer listed as the default selection, type
explorer.exe /e,"

Place this in a shortcut without the quotes

EXPLORER.EXE /e,::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}
